Congrats! Looks clean. Wish I was as mechanically savvy as you.

Looking forward to having a much newer, nicer vehicle to take care of. Hopefully it will be more problem-free than the Corolla was. I don't really have any major mods planned for it, maybe just a few minor things. I'd love to throw some HID's into the projector headlights. Normally I'm a fan of HID projector retrofits, as I run Hella bi-xenon projectors (a.k.a. Mercedes E55 projectors) on my Integra. But I'm not sure if I want to mess with cracking open headlights on this car. Hopefully an H11 HID kit works okay. Might do some LED replacement bulbs, unless it messes too much with the lighting system in the vehicle.

My understanding is that even the halogen CX-5's have decent cutoffs. Forgot who makes them but I thought you could buy Xenon plug and play kits with shielded bulbs to minimize glare. I would go down that route.

There's a thread showing the H11 kit from The Retrofit Source (always high quality stuff from those guys) so I'll likely do that. The output looks pretty nice.
