I ended up just getting the ones off of E-bay, 'cause they went with the car the best.

I almost bought them, until I realised how shy would I be when a BMW with real bright HID projector park beside my dim fake one.

Congratulations dude, you are the FIRST and ONLY one to say rice,ricey, riced when describing my car. Where's the big wing, the dozen stickers, the cheap Kragen add-ons. FYI- those graphics are not vinyl but rather HOK paint. When you see that red candy in the sunlight against the black, wow is all I can say, nothing like it.

I don't worry about BMW's and their projectors. These lights are about 2/3 as much light (with bulb replacement), but 10x better looking that the factory ones I had. Knowing how to aim properly goes a long way.

Thanks for all the comments, guys. Especially the "clean" ones, I get that one 95% of the time. The other 5% is "bad ***" or "what kind of car is that?".

well come on man, you created a thread that asked for our opinion and he's giving his opinion, good or bad, you asked for it. So you should be able to take the good and the bad when asking for opinions, at least he's honest. car looks good to me and my opinion is i don't like that red paint job on the side, but never the less it still looks good. thats my opinion

Yeah, you're right! But it seems like anymore the word "rice" is an insult, especially on here with so many peeps going for the JDM and clean look.

How much thought goes into just having your car painted solid black, that's all?

^^ well i totally agree with you on the fact that tooo many dam ppl these days use the word RICE. RICE this and RICE that, it also gets on my nerves, so i really do understand where you're coming from man. i had one person call my car rice before and i do recall that i got pretty pissed at it too because i never asked for his dam opinion. As for your comment, i totally agree

Hey man I didn't mean to insult you or anything like that, IMO I don't like graphics. I like everything else on your car and want to get the body kit you have. I just don't like the paint, that's all man, no need to get offened.

The headlights are hot, glad you kept the amber bulb in the signal. Normally I hate graphics but those are too nice to hate.
