Not a fan of the CF wrap, but those halo projector DRLs/high beams look great.

+1 on the halo projector, got the vip jdm look for sure. awesome, i love it!

OP: what kind of projectors are you using, and how hard was the install? any cutting or modification of the headlight housing? details appreciated! do you have any pics with the halo projectors and hid low beam headlights on?

i wanna know what you did with the DRL's.

is there a projector in there?


now you just need to CF wrap the whole car.
it looks incomplete right now


i have yet to see a perfect CF job. Usually the CF line/pattern orientation is all over the place. i.e one piece has the lines slanted to the left, another panel has lines slanted right.

Love it! Very stylish!

Does it drain extra power from the battery. I fitted some Plasmaglow LEDs now my battery goes flat if I leave it on without the engine for more than 5 minutes.

Looks like it was done properly, nice. Even though I like cf, this would be a tad too much for me. I think the hood would be plenty, but then again, that's me. I would probably would have just blacked out the headlights and grill...

Like the halo light.. good job. Curious how you did it though..
