Exactly, exhaust is much more fun than headlights.
^ I agree with this guy, I'd rather be seen than heard when it comes to my car at night.
HID's with reflectors are good enough for me. And before I need to put my flame suit on, mine are 35watt and I don't get flashed because they're aimed low.
"But, HID's in reflectors are illegal!". Deal with it.

I disagree, headlights should not blind on coming drivers. That alone makes the whole idea unsafe in my mind. Loud exhaust on the otherhand is pretty much worthless too. The only time you get to hear your exhaust note is when you let someone else drive your car. Any other time it is just droning that makes everyday driving, in a word exhausting.

I have proper headlight retrofits that do not blind anyone with a proper ballets and 4300k bulbs I do not blind people. Hids in halogen housings are just dumb and pointless. Not to mention Lady hands knows exactly why i made the comment about the exhaust.
My comment was meant for the people that don't do it right and don't care about other drivers, the ones the just want some bright ass headlights. As for lady hands, I know what you mean. The whole "dependable, un-modded, daily driver" speach. Haha!
I wouldn't say they are dumb and pointless. They are an upgrade over the OME bulbs that blow out every month and do a much better job at lighting than the OEM halogens. They are cheap $65 shipped with the proper harness and don't need maintenance.
Yes, retrofits are certainly an upgrade but personally not with the money to me.
Retrofits and Plastidip seem like the latest trend.
Larry, you shoosh! I'm a hypocrite, okay!? haha

You should have known that was coming.
Haha, you just hate black wheels...
In my defense, I PC'ed my Konigs on my civic black back in 2000.
Ps- I like Plastidip, don't get me wrong. But I remember the glory days of this thread where some sweet builds and progress were posted. Now it's usually Plastidipped a rear valance or retrofits. But you'll have that when Protege's are cheaper now and anyone who wants real power buys something else. I don't care, I still love my P5 money dumpster.

Meh, I for one can think of a ton of other things to spend $300 bucks on than headlights.
Dafuq? I spent $120
Sigh

wait aren't you dipping your new to your sp6?
Yes, and I'm not going to post pics every 10mins about some part I painted. I'm painting the whole car, one post/pic and that's it.
This thread used to be some sweet updates. Now it's basically a "What scheduled maintenance did you do to your P5 today". Haha
end rant, I'll shut up now.
Haha, just saw this;
