My first mod is complete...

[Ahester]

I thought I'd share this with all of you. I installed my first mod last night. I wanted HID head lights but I was hesitant about parting with $400 - $600 on lights so instead I bought some High Intensity Super White bulbs from PIAA. They make a huge difference and not mention I don't have that ugly ass vomit yellow headlight color and they were only $40. I'm planning on installing my Amp and Subs after work today so I can get the car thumpin'

I've got a 250w Kenwood and 2 10" subs that I salvaged from my totalled 'stang. (headbang)

[Ahester]

Aw come one.....don't burst my bubble....it's all I got man. (thumb)

theres a GB for HID kits on the forums that you could get for less than $300 shipped...

$300... =

I had some PIAA bulbs and they only lasted about 8 months, really disappointed since I paid $70 for them. Bought silverstars instead. Although not as bright, theyve lasted twice as long for half the price. Just a heads up.

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

unless you're going to buy HIDs then just buy $9 bulbs from ebay...

i used to have the sylvania bulbs but now have the piaa blue bulbs and i love them. wouldn't ever go back. hopefully i can get hid's soon though.

 

[brealmp3]

yea the hell with paying $70 for light bulbs. i didn't even spend that much on my new catz yellow fogs. i will stick with my $12 shipped bulbs from ebay.

architect what broke now?

architect what broke now?

i ran over/into an 18 wheeler tire on the freeway monday night. the car in front of my ran over it and i didn't have enough time to swerve or hit the brakes so i ran right into it. broke all front lower grills and dented the bumper and lip and scraped some paint off the bumper.

HID...i must have.

 

[Ahester]

I'd love to have them too, but I'd rather get some more horsepower outta my car first. I'll spend the $300 on some OBX headers. The cheap bulbs I put in put off a nice blue-white light and they didn't cost a freaking fortune. Now if someone wanted to donate some HID to me I would be most grateful...hint hint.

Well...i'm Trying To Save For A Turbo Kit At The Moment...if I Play It Right; I Have 5 More Months.
