Default finally, first mod on my 09'..

so i just put on my 8000k HID kit, and my yellow fogs!! finally got rid of those ugly halogens.. was pretty simple, just finding a place for the ballast, but other than that i think i did a very clean job, for a first timer, tucked away all wires!!

before..


-

after..






sorry for the bad pics.. next mod, a drop and install my rims, they are getting painted!!

not a fan of that particular color combination because it strains the eyes when you drive, but it sure does look pretty =)

well i chose the 8000k for the color temp. 6000k was a little to plain for me..

you already have rims, but not installed? whats the deal?
yeah my rims are getting painted, they came off my 08' they were black, so they are getting painted championship white to match my Starfire pearl color.. i still havent decided what springs/coils to go with, i want at least a 2" drop, since im running 18s..

09 Tungen Pearl FTW! Looks good! I got the stock HID's (will eventually change them to 6000k) and 3000k HID's for my fogs. What kinda springs are you gonna get and what rims do you have?
