And an HID kit . . .
fordrule
03-02-2007, 12:03 AM
The angel eyes were purchased from pep boys and the leds were changed to super white leds, the parking lights and corner lights are LED bulbs and the parking light lense is removed from the housing. the Low beam projector was replaced with the projector from the Audi RS6 HID kit. the inserts were removed and taken to a paint shop and sprayed body color.
I did not do the work personally since they were done by board members from TN/Ky members( mindtrip1016 and Y2Kat) when I was deployed to Iraq the last time.

Sad news, those first months children change so quickly. Mind you I will say being a part of the birth is simply awesome. Will be like nothing else you have experienced.
Anyway, back to your car, did you get a tune done on it??

Everything looks nice; the paint match seems excellent.
I STILL just cannot get used to those red headlights though. I REALLY wish they were still the factory blacks.

I agree. They clutter up the front end that would otherwise look so clean! But the kit/wheels/hood all look SO good!!

Yup....all your other lights are blacked out, your headlights should be too to tie it all together.

How far did you have to adjust the exhaust to fit the Roush rear? Thats the rear I want eventually, but IIRC my current exhaust outlets won't clear it.
Car looks awesome though, as always!

i cut the exhaust little foward the y and took the car with the bumper and new rear valence installed and had the shop weld up and bend some new pipes on it.....i think they did a kick@$$ job on the exhaust, now i just need to paint it all to make it uniformity.......i am waiting on the grill hopefully today to get it

thanks for all the kind words. I will try and take some better pics and do a nice photoshoot of the car....
I do believe I am the only one with a roush kit and have the headlights painted also. most others with the kit have the 01-02 ausie or 99-00 euro. I am thinking of changing it to 01-02 ausie's , tint the turnsignal and either body color paint or paint the insides black. but maybe since i am getting deployed...... the WW grill and headlight inserts wrap them in CF ...courtesy of TOPshop
