no adjustable links here, I like the camber properties with the stock links. I've been running this set-up for about 8 months and its never let me down yet!

And by the way looks awesome!!(cool)

Hey man, out of 10 (10 being the hardest) it was like a 3/10. I give it 3 because the bumper is always a PITA to remove, but once that's off, baking the headlight was simple. I forgot what my buddy pre-set the oven to, but we left each headlight in for about 5-7 minutes. Sometimes we'd put it back in just to re-melt the silicone, as ours are much harder/thicker than my buddy's G35 and G37.

After baking it, removing all of the parts was SUPER easy...EVERYTHING comes out..even the chrome bezels/rings...makes everything super easy to paint/customize...we just left it all in and painted it all. The clear lens swap was super easy also...its just simply removing the old lens, adding the spacer that came with my TRS clear lens kit, then inserting the new clear lens on top of the spacer...using #8 washer (we used only one on each end) and that gives me a nice flicker and blueish line above the cutoff.

If you do this, please make sure you measure the distance each projector is set to....for example (hard to tell without a photo), one of the screens was maybe 3-1/4" away from the base/back of headlight....again, hard to describe...it's not the end of the word as you can re-tighten/adjust the projectors later once the headlight has been assembled again...but i recommend trying to get it as close to as it was before..that way you're not too far off than stock height/angle etc.. << i'm sure none of that made sense ?

I will also say this...my buddy accidentally sanded the turn signal reflector, so I decided to just paint it...Looks wise - it's awesome, but it doesn't show all that well when the headlights are on...I'm thinking about replacing my Silverstar bulbs with LEDs sometime in the near future...I just hate that I'm going to give up that sick blue color that i love so much

Looks good Hatchie

 

[MM BOOST]

hatchie, you have the single best ms3 I have ever seen before. That car is absolute perfection my friend.

My only suggestions would be tint the red sidemarkers black, and maybe paint the emblems black, but other than that, your car is straight SICK!

 

[iheartmyhatchie]

My emblems are already black. Haha.

Also not too big on tinting the reflectors. I did a test run on the sidemarkers, and I just bought new stockers because I didn't like it after a few weeks. Haha.
