lol I was SOOO CLOSE to getting a set of black chrome headlight housings....I agree it would look soo nice...but I figured i might as well try something different since you have black chrome . lol our cars are way too similar...both have hre540r, tein cs, dsr grill, etc...

ummm should i get these?
i sent out my employee to pick up some gunmetal paint, we decided on a lighter shade at first, but normally car related gunmetal color such as rims is a darker color.....so we return the first one and bought a darker one, because i told cody we going to paint it gunmetal. so i want to make sure the end result will be similar to the color he have in his mind.....

i think if the housing is painted in body's exact color will be awesome, such as the blue color on the gs......but of course got to take it to body shop for that mod....

Its possible but like cody said it would be overdone. Plus there huge. They might fit. You would have to cut out the whole back and fiberglass the back to get them to fit. I thought about it putting something there so i just used an average sized bmw projector. Thanks for the compliment cody

I never noticed the E39 projector where the DRL is. That looks pretty sick. How much was the E39 projector and was it difficult to fit there?
