I paid like 4oo for mine from depo, I did not want the DIY lights. Anyway the EVO wheels look great. I would want a set if they weren't 18s.
What have you done to your P5 today?

If you do a retrofit, its a direct bolt on. The HID's make the wiring that you have to do to get them to fit much easier.
and EVO wheels FTW! haha I have EVO8 wheels on my car.

Winter wheels and Tires and suggestions for exhaust and air intake systems
Put the on the winter wheels and tires and yellow fog lamp bulbs.
Looking for suggestions for cat-back or exhaust upgrades and cold-air intake systems.

How did you like the Racing Beat exhaust and Simota? Noticeable power gain with either kit seperately and together?

someone is getting old!
True but not as old as others.
haha And I haven't lost it completely yet...the sound is still in the back, just have to figure out what is causing it.RB is preferred by many here so you can't go wrong unless you are looking for something on the loud side. BTW, car looks good, what are the specs of your winter set-up and I can haz ur headlights?
Those lenses are soooo damn clean!!!Oh yeah....drove mine to work today and got stuck behind a vert bug where the driver chose to hover between 60-65 in the fast lane. (breakn)
the racing beat sounds amazing..the simota is like any other cai...youll get some noise but thats about it. you dont really notice much of a power increase on these cars unless you turbo it. now i noticed a huge difference when i installed the mp3 ecu with how well it smoothed out the engine when stomping on it. the power band was alot better.
^^^ Truth. Get the MP3 ECU or the reflash from Spicy. And I love how my friends Protege sounds with his Racing Beat and my other friends Magnaflow. I liked the low tone of my old GReddy EVO2 but it droned on the highway.

Started my Morimoto Mini retrofit.....holy crap is this easy. I started maybe 30 mins ago and im already done with one headlight, just have to test fit on the car, aim, and wire up the high beam plug and Im done. For anyone who is wanting to retrofit and is scared its too hard. GET THE MORIMOTO MINI's. They are a DIRECT BOLT IN, No cutting is required. Ill be posting pics in my build thread in a few mins
(rofl2) old news is old.

Lol, I had no idea until a few weeks ago, the retro is finished, but its too dark out to take pics so Ill be posting all of them tomorrow.
The light output is amazing (4300K) compared to my old HID's (3000K). The cutoff is pretty awesome too

Haha, my car can always be improved, so im always working on it, fixing something or changing s*** up.
and the coils are awesome, Im actually buying stiffer springs for the rear sometime this week, the ones on there now are pretty soggy and I rub on hard turns when I didnt before. Im thinking 7k front with 10k rear. Should handle pretty nice

4300k is probably the best temp to use in projectors. 3000k is only good for fogs and back roads, and anything over 4300k would probably just get drowned out. Use THIS link to align everything.

Running GT Radial Ice Pro 195 60/15 for winter and AKINA 205 50/16 for the summer on MSR wheels. The 205's rubs a little bit with rear passengers even with the fenders rolled.
