What is your total cost for the headlight conversion, one car that is?

Pat.

Parts break down for Callie's setup

$150 Depo Headlights - Ebay
$240 Acura TL projectors and 85122+ bulbs
$55 ZKW-R lenses
$55 Mercedes E55 shrouds
$30 Misc wiring and adapters

So, total in parts is $530

I am not allowed to talk about cost of the build though

I my parts for my retro off another member so, i got the parts cheaper

god i want to post pics of my car so bad right now. ill be installing some BC coilovers monday, so expect some pics that evening.

i have a question for you guys. lets say my car gets nominated for Ride of the Month on another forum. would yall be willing to register on that website and give a mazda brother a little bit of an edge on the competition. its an import site, and the last ROTM is a darn srt-4. it won over this car, which is much nicer in person:

usimports.org, home of the srt-4 import. a mazda wagon might need a good boost to get ROTM with that crowd.

actually, that lexus came in 4th out of 5 positions. the only other decent car in the running was an okay looking civic with carbon on RPF1s. they even nominated a stock TL on... RPF1s.

/rant. i just hate poor taste.

i did my front badge matte for a while but changed it a while ago, i like it gloss to be honest.

ill leave the grille up to someone else but i wouldnt paint my grille personally

Got the new turbo setup in except our mig welding gun always has problems and the last weld it froze off at the tip and wouldn't free up... home depot in the morning for new tips or a new mig welder. I am so ready to drive

 

[HKPRO5]

Test fitted my new (used) carbon fiber front grill and Auto Exe front lip.

 

[bgibb68]

looks good....but then again an ugly woman might look good with the lights off

 

[HKPRO5]

cant see it in the picture but the lip is cracked on the left side and the carbon grill is faded. I dont like the carbon look on the grill so i think im goin to paint it flat black and once i fix the lip ill paint that flat black too.

2 Question...

1. Anybody have a link to DIY motormount fills on here...I tried searching, but my searching skills are definitely lacking...also anyone have any experience with it...


2. Thinking about getting some new lug nuts and was wondering if these would work on the stock Speed3 rims...I thought I had read somewhere where you could not use aftermarket lugs on stock rims due to something...maybe I am wrong...

Type: Kics Neo Chro R40 Extended Lugs w/ Locks

Link: http://www.gtrmod.com/Kics-Project-R40-NEO-CHRO-Lug-Nuts-Open-End-p/kic r40 neo.htm

"*This product is specifically made to be used with aftermarket wheels. Do not use these lug nuts with your factory wheels."

it states that right in the link your provided. they dont fit cause the angle of the seating surface.

Wow, seems like a lot of Mula, but you will have HIDs the proper way.
