Hey so i got so tired and depressed at looking at my car with the ugly mix of 14" Steely wheels and snow tires on the front and the ass ugly stock 16" tri spokes on the rear that i decided to throw the rims back on and clean the car up real nice. I live in London Ontario where the weather is still about -4 or 5 celcious during the day so i may have been a lil early but i couldnt take it anymore.

Thanks alot, yea the tails are different i tinted them, and black housing headlights are next, I have an HID kit on its way when i get the Kit I will be making a Custom shield for the bulbs in order to avoid unwanted glare and maintain proper cutoff when i take the headlights apoart of this i will be doing the black housing look and also Slight eyelids to the top of the lights as well.

Yea my lever inside the car seizes so it doesnt re-latch. its a quick fix i just need to go to the wreakers to find a new lever assembly that is in better condition that doesnt seize

Well they dont do much in the city except for make the car look different, but at night out in the country they add a lil bit with the normal headlights, but when i put the high beams on the headlights and the stock fogs go out so they make a huge difference then, i aimed them specifically for this situation.
I have tried several times to add a relay into the lighting system that allows my headlights to come stay on when my high beams are on as i do alot of nightime country driving. This works well makes thing very bright but the relays always burn out after only a month or two, not to sure what the problem is but i have pretty much given up on that now, or atleast untill i get my HID's then i will wire up a proper switch to the relay that comes with the HID set up.

{Sorry about the double-post}
I never even noticed the fogs. Thats an awesome idea. The regular fogs do do their job, but, extra help is always nice.
