The hyper black they sold was really dark actually, a lot of people were disappointed I guess.

No I didn't have to roll my fenders, 245 width tire slightly stretched and camber from lowering (-2 degrees) has it clearing by about 1mm haha
Wow, that's actually not too bad. -2 isn't crazy when you think about it. Is your AWD or RWD? How is the ride compared to stock on the megans? I want something exactly like stock for comfort. Debating on the F sport shocks/lowering springs or BCR's

They megans are great of you don't plan on slamming your car because they're kind of soft springs. I'm sure you would love them. My car is RWD.

And another member wrote me and asked if id sell them and i said I will sell them for $3000 haha that's how much it would cost to buy new ones and change up my whole color theme again! Lol I kind of based my whole car around the wheels. Black pearl emblems, black pearl license plate bracket, headlight housings. Plus I really really like them you may be able to find a place that will powder coat them this finish. I looked into it and they were gonna charge $600 cuz they hadn't done a 3 stage powdercoat like this before.

That's cute, I remember my first beer haha just playing.

You really have to see it to know how much better it is, pics with my iPhone won't do it justice. I had the same... HID plug and play kit is nothing compared. Two big center hot spots. Yes it lights up the middle of the road but I couldn't see anything on the sides. These light up everything about 100 feet wide.

Seriously, it's like comparing the use of a mag light for your headlights to the very best in automotive lighting. No comparison at all. It's like everyone says, night and day difference. The stock projectors blow. Beam width is just terrible.
