Do a proper hid projector retrofit if you want to be able to see well at night. Go back 1 page for an example

I kinda noticed that. My USDM HID debased bulb output looked better than the larger JDM projectors. Only reason I like the damn JDM one over the USDM one is the damn dual adjustment for low and high beams. If you need glass, I'm prolly leaning on buying a used set, you can use my old ones if you want them. Glass is scratched for the driver side but not busted.

Also, I found a vented hood in Richmond. I'm gonna try to pick it up Sat morning after C&C Richmond. Anybody heard of Carbon Creations?

That clear covers is interesting but my problem is I need a good housing. I dont want to end up having to buy 2 pairs of headlights to make them together since my current driver side housing is done. Passenger side one, the screw holder where the corner lights screw into sheared off.

Then again, anybody got a picture of the back of the Sonar ones? I'm curious if I can buy Sonar headlights and transfer my JDM inners and glass into the housing. Then again, the dual adjustments is probably whats gonna kill it.

Whats people's take on fiberglass fenders? I was never a big fan but I got quoted by Enjukuracing for a new Origin bumper $200 on shipping a $350 bumper. I'm thinking I might as well buy front and rear fenders since I'm gonna be paying that much for shipping.

Don't fuck with the rear of the car if it's not broken. Period, if I would be morally okay with space ship camber I wouldn't of went charge speed. Plus my "pull" was not even on both sides, and I fucking have OCD.

You can't transfer the guts of the jdm or usdm lights into the sonar housings unfortunately. Maybe you can find one JDM light to match your good one?

Got it, I hate fiberglass too but figured I'd get another perspective about it but yall feel the same way as me. I'll just buy another passenger side fender since that side is chewed up.

Wayne, I already got a kit...not a big fan of it but I got a full Origin Aggressive Kit. There's somebody selling real Vertex in NC, I might just take them up on it.

Frizzle got those headlights, i might just buy them from him when this damn check shows up.
