    Sounds like you guys had a lot of fun with him. He's coming with me to Oklahoma in a couple weeks. I guess I can only hope for good weather.

    Idk how savy you are with cutting and it would be kinda funny making them even but that would be cool. If I were you I would do the rearviews half on the stuff. Maybe Ill copy you. Blue is my fav color I like implementing it into the car.

    I am warning you the spray tint does chip after a few months, so clear coat the last coat. I didnt do that and I need to respray them because of a bunch of little chips. But yes it gives the car a whole new look. Ive been told they make it look very expensive! Lol

    I'm sorry for such a late response, but haven't been on here in a long time. In the plasti dip thread I did post some prep pics, and you're right. Just tape off and spray, there is some other tips in the thread also. Auto paint tape and peel tape carefully before it dries completely. Did you already dip your car? I would like to see a pic if you did. Mine still are on and only have a little peeling near the wheel well. Might change the hood scallops to some that are thinner. Right now the spikes remind me of the Budweiser Crown.

    Mike, could not find your photobucket album. I saw that you did the blue CF dash kit and was hoping to see pics. How did that work out for you? Was it is difficult as the exterior striping?

    Lol thanks,I do have a few pics I need to upload and in my honest opinion if you can go with a more expensive header like Fswerks cause the obx is ok just not as good as I'd hoped,you have to lengthen the flex about an inch and another port for your o2 should be added

    I can see if I can get a night shot in the next couple days. I still need to adjust the aim on em a little bit but they're pretty bright. The only way I see damaging something is if you force something while you're putting it together.

    It took me and my friend a couple hours to figure out. It wasn't too hard though once we figured out what plug in to what. If you get the parts and ever want to road trip down to NC I could help you put it together lol. If you check the HID thread on here it's really helpful.

    Has links for the relay and resistors

    Just put in JDHEIM if it asks you for a code and you'll get 10% off.

    Yeah man no sweat, 35w 10000k is blue but still bright enough that you can see at night. I'm a bit of a noob with my car too. Had a buddy of mine help me put it together. You're going to need a relay harness and a pair of resistors to go with your hid bulbs and ballasts just SO you know. I bought my bulbs and ballasts from DDM tuning, it's Chinese but they're good, not to mention cheap. The pair will run you 30$ and take about 10-14 days to arrive. I bought my relay harness and resistors from retro-solutions. They're an American company up in Connecticut. Those took a few days to get to me and they were something like 40$. Bright side is I can get you a discount with retro-solutions if you want.

    I'm originally from VA, I've been through fair fax a couple times! Lol

    The bulbs were picked up from a small local accessory shop. Any automotive parts store should have a set. I'd suggest looking into the legality of blue fog lights in your area first though, some places don't like forward-facing blue lights. As for the Ti headlights, check with your dealer. I get all my OEM parts there.
    My build thread has all of the latest pictures, though more will come once the rear valance gets wrapped and installed.

    Turtle Wax car wash, micro fiber towels to dry. I go to Mikes car wash when I don't feel like doing it myself. Get all the door jams and in the trunk. Any water that can later spill over and dry will make a residue streak. I need to get some mud guards.

    Hey mishka, thank you! The bezels are actually the OEM parts from Titanium Focuses, I swapped them for the all-chrome ones.
    Cheers,
    Bill
