My Retrofit > ImPulSe Now Going Euro... *** Updated - Night Pics On Page #2!*** >=]
Ok... FINALLY, the weather by me is now 60!!!!! OMFG, Getting really really nice out! So... Because of the weather I was able to put something on my car that I have had for MONTHS but, because of weather, and other problems it was put on hold.
Back to the subject...
While everyone on the site is going for a JDM or OEM type theme, I have decided to go European/OEM.
The project that I have been working on is called a retrofit. What I did was take out the actual TYC projector and replaced it with, projectors out of a European Audi. The reason why I mention a European Audi is because in europe the light laws are different than the US DOT. These projectors basically give me 3x's as much color as standard US DOT projectors.
Well, Here are the pics of them installed on my car.
Money Shot (for now)
^^
My driveway is not perfectly level, that is why they are diff colors.
I will be taking nicer pictures tonight.
Ok... So, as of right now I have only the front of my car semi "euro", I will be ordering some UK Tails from hondawerx.com aswell as the aerokit. After that... Well, I dont know
lease: 
Maybe Rims? rijowysock?!?!
Well, What do you guys think of the lights, and my idea of going "euro" ?

You need the sidemarkers, the mirrors, if you want, the OEM 15 spokers, if not, then go for OZs or BBSs. Although I'm sure even in europe, people put Volks on Japanese cars. I guess the stretched tire thing is in over there... just don't over do it. Especially on crappy US roads.

Rep Power: 787 That's amazing. I know the aero kit and tails will look pimp as well. If I were you, I would get darker rims to match with the headlights. And maybe even a "euro" altezza grill
