Hey man, I've gotta give out my thanks, they were the first pictures I'd seen of the retrofit done before, so really helped my motivation to just go all out & give it a shot one day, no turning back.
Good to hear they haven't caused you any problems after a year too, are you still getting any leaking ?
And thanks alot brother, you don't see too many Silver Soarer's over here, so when I saw if for sale there was no questions asked.
Loving your SC too, that thing is fu*king grouse man.

They look great, the high beams are a perfect match, which was probably the 2nd best thing to accompany the clear lens. Have your head lights leaked at all ? And did you re-use the weather stripping & found the need for new double sided tape ?
And regarding the air ducts, I bought them from a body kit supplier in Sydney, they are a universal item. To cut a long story short I made an outline of them both, carefully cut them out & went from there.. real easy. if people are interested enough I will definitely make a thread on it. Some may say they don't flow with the rest of the body but they provide great air flow..

Sounds good, & also good to hear no one has had any real problems. I will be re-fitting my weather stripping today, it will look complete then, like it should.
Thanks dude. So you are thinking of tinting both the head lights & tails did you mean ? Yes eBay Motors is fairly decent for parts for the SC & Soarer. eBay.com.au on the other hand is a different story.
Thanks mate. It was worth the attempt.
There is a slight gap between the lens & the fender but I think the pictures make it look bigger than what it actually is, once I put the weather stripping back on it will look fine.

I have done the same mod, leaving the housings factory chrome. I think they look awesome. I do get some moisture in from time to time, and there is a small gap between the fender and lens. I also need to shorten the aux bulb, as I removed the "condom", but I think it still looks spectacular. Let me know what you think...

Yes I do.
Not to improve looks but to improve air flow. This front bar is more of an experiment ! So I don't feel guilt for cutting it up. Until I can buy the late model front end, I'll be content.
