Those ill placed screws stay on that cover like that?

How do you aim the headlights? Or do they aim however way the bumper happens to end up on the car?

4-lug wheels, turbo hood, Nissan rims, checkerflag, what exactly is that car?

Ya, I think Inukai visited Europe- not Higggi went to Japan.

How many of those kits do you think are in Eastern Europe? Sweet!

How do you adjust the headlamps, i'm guessing with the screws on the side. I hope those screws on the lens cover aren't that shoddy, because this thing isn't cheap.

Let's just say I was much more impressed with this nose kit before seeing it this close....

It looks as though they just cut a thin piece of plexi for the light covers. Those screws will soon become vital easy access pieces as the plastic gets horribly scratched and needs frequent replacement. Do they include templates for cutting those covers in the THOUSAND dollars they charge for those things?

I'm also disturbed at the lacking of adjustments for the headlights. Maybe the assemblies come out and there are adjustments for just the lenses up closer too them? Sounds like lots of bullshit to go through to align the lights.

Higgi, Could you possibly post any model information on those light assemblies? I like the lenses and their size. I want to do something similar without spending that much cash.

maybe soul assasin would know...

maybe it comes initially with "Screws" so that you can take teh plexi off in case you are painting below the plexi to match the car (like soul did)...after the plexi is put back into place i'd think they give you rivets or something to better attach it...just a guess

Well if they don't give you rivets then you can still go buy some and use them. I think I'd use rivets and then a little bit of some clear silicone to waterproof the inside so no condensation gets in there. Another question I had was, do all the lenses come in blue now or what? I always planned on clear and putting a very light window tint on them.
