I got some TSX projectors and managed to retrofit them into some old 7x6 housings. I was able to mount the new headlights today, I really like they way they came out. I still have to put the little plastic trim back on and lower the lights just a tad but otherwise its pretty much perfect. I'll try to get some distance shots at night soon.

Carbon Fiber Radiator Panel

I got some of my CF parts in the mail. The panel was pretty straight forward but I did have to move the coolant reservoir to get it to line up with a circle opening.
It looks better with the headlight shrouds reinstalled but you get the idea.I didn't get a chance to door the door sills but I will when I get the rest of the parts. I'm also doing an FD manifold conversion in the next few weeks...

More Carbon Pieces

Mirror Cover Triangles-


Headlight Cover Panels-


I'm still making a mold for my own CF center panel and would like a few other pieces. I'd like the CF sunroof panel and maybe see if I could make the rear taillight surround out of CF. Just some ideas for the future.

I'm waiting for the spacer for the FD manifold swap and will post the progress of that when it happens.

Carbon fiber fades like crazy though? especially on the roof.
I need those triangles and warning light surround.

How does the car look with those headlight covers? Do you have CarbonFiber Hood?

The car is in a garage and is only driven a few weekends out of the year so sun fade shouldn't be a problem. No I don't have a hood and don't really want one either for some reason. I like the little accents of CF, plus the FC hood is too trendy.
