the suspension is modified oem replacement parts... wanted to preserve most of the factory ride aside from the extra harshness of the thin tires..
Yes, i have HIDs... the lights aren't bad at all, it was noticeable the first 2 nights or so because i was use to how it was but now i dont even notice it...but looking at the car at night you cant tell its tint especially the fogs, hids look more purplish now...
thanks...basically yes, being that the headlight is very curved stand standard adhesive tint stick on better but is harder to mold, but static tint is easier to mold but doesnt stick near as well...with that said, standard adhesive tint is better, its just takes more time..
thanks, im on the other side on TN in the memphis area

props for the headlights, can you show us more pictures of your car (especially the headlights). I so wanna do the same now too, just not the roof.
I don't know, in my own opinion, if you don't have the pana roof, you don't have it. It is an option, you can pay some bucks to buy it. If you paint the roof black, it's like replicating it. However, if the ES did not have the pana roof option and if you paint it black, it is fair enough.
