Looks tops dude! Good work.

Acutaclly, you will need projectors made for your side of the street. Ours project an image that looks like this. ___/-----
You probably need the opposite style ----\___ . They make them. Just head over to www.hidplanet.com and order a set.

believe it or not, these are oem lenses cleaned with a little Tide (with color safe bleach in the red bottle). I cleaned both sides but still havent' applied the plastic polish. When I do that, they'll be pimp!

Thanks so much. I'm going to do the Llumar metallic tint and navi in the next couple months. I'll have write ups as well. Stay tuned for that

mike,

i've read somewhere that you shouldn't have a metallic tint with a navi because the tint may interfere with the navi system. do more research on this before you pull the trigger and find out the hard way.

I know this is a year late but I installed my navi antenna on the outside of the car vs. the inside. So when its time to put the tint on (which I haven't done yet) I doubt I'll have any issues. The good news is that I do plan on adding tint and another surprise in the next few weeks. Stay tuned to this specific section of the forum for all the juicy details...
