Very nice build, how long did it take you to do the headlight retro fit?

Thank you! And far most, thanks for having your first post on my build thread (i think?) Lol i forgot how long it took me to retrofit my lights. I had a friend help me, who was familiar with retrofitting. I can tell you that aligning the beams took awhile. We had to take it off and on the car to make sure the low beam was pointing at a good position so it wont blind oncoming traffic. PM me if you have any more questions, I would be happy to help you out! But to give you an actual number on how long it took, i would say 4 hours.

I did not ask a question? I merely stated that I would loose the front plate, I just want to see the sides and rear...?

anxious to see how it looks fully painted, I feel like that cross-member behind the bumper grill is gonna be an eye-sore. Definitely in to see the sides and rear, too many people are going with super bulky/edgy/pointy "vip" kits that completely take away from the GS itself, just because it's a top name brand and cost a lot. Those bumper led's are gonna look awesome for sure.

Thanks, yea it is an eye sore, im planning on adding a metal mesh in black to cover the center hole. The LED light is what caught my attention on the kit, i dont see much thats running the LED lights like that. Im also planning on turning those lights into chasing lights, along with my rear tail lights.
