    Those better not be vents or hood pins on the hood.

    Please don't injure that 5 anymore than you have to.

    Not yet, no exhaust, middle of over-hauling it from front to back.

    My rear inner tail lights melted today when I started my Rear Fog HID's.

    That plan didnt work, so I need a new right inner tail light, anyone?

    Because he or she will see the bling-bling vents of your hood in their mirrors ?

    Sorry, could not resist !

    They are unfortunately. I must have been intoxicated when I thought of that, they don't look half bad, worst case scenario it's double-sided tape.

    You stuck double-sided tape on your new paint just to put THAT on? You deserve what you get!!!

    i feel safer knowing i'll be able to see you coming

    i don't think the hood vents look too bad (thank goodness your car is silver!) but i fail to see the point on a 525 wagon... oh yeah... forgot who was driving...

    do the headlights look like that because they are HID or because the lenses are off?

    where are you getting your exhaust from?

    i'm not entirely sure i'm hoping to see you on the highway (banking on getting a warning post, buddy) but good luck with the rest all the same!

    Well, my headlights we're DEPO with the crappy eye rings but they looked too fake for me, so I opened them up to put real eye's in them. Whilst installing the eye's, 1 of the glass lenses fell and broke so I had ordered new clear lenses.

    Then the clear lenses wouldn't allow for installation of the eye's, so I put eye's on the low beam with the old DEPO lenses and ordered custom eye's for the high beam's.

    The manufactor contacted me and said they were having problems with the machine's so they refunded me the money. So when that happened I was going to leave only the low beam's with eye's. After re-installing the headlights onto the car, I tested all the lights and the eye's somehow had broken. So I re-rook them out.

    The problem I had now was they was a wierd look behind the clear lenses since the old halo's were gone, so I painted the housing behind the old halo's black.


    As for the hood vents, they don't look have bad, they blend with the rest of the car as well as the fender vents.

    Worst case scenario is take a heat gun to it and they come right off, I didn't cut holes to put them on.

    I'm doing the exhaust myself, just waiting on the header's to finish the install.
