They are so nice but so expensive. They make excellent products but price is hard to swallow. I want there wide body kit when it comes available and also their headlights.

Based on the pics and quality of the parts that the units appear to use, those look very reasonably priced.

I am curious to see some installed pics of the units.

Biggest thing for me is it looks way to high tech on an FB.

Nice, but not "period-correct."

IMO, would look like grandma in a leopard miniskirt on a first-gen.

Look at there car on the website. It looks great. I've been talking with them about some sort of sponsorship for our drift car. If I could afford them I definitely would have them already.

Hahah exactly....

A better way of saying "too high tech".

Maybe I will do the JDM clear front running light mod. See it on Aussie FB's also... the front lens is about 1/3 clear for dedicated running lights.

Anyone have experience with the 194 sized LED's to drop in for signals and side markers??Perhaps would be too bright through the reflector/lens?

WA Hotwater Labs FB HL kit

My set arrived about a week ago, they are pretty nice and are well made, I also got the bumper lights as well which are also really nice.
I'm still not ready to install them but here is some pics of the set and how they looked mocked up on the car.

LMAO. Could not agree more. We need stock looking on the outside with LED guts.

You're Josh's brother, I'm Austin Lindahl - I saw you post those lights on Facebook and see your avatar pic every once in a while on there.

I do like them a lot personally, on a updated car that's modified I think they fit right in. Yours is one example, flares and nice wheels with some other modifications makes it seem right with the car.

On a stock car...not so much.

Glad you like the progress, it'll look epic once it's all done.
