Dude, seriously . . .

1) Tell us where to get that kit
2) Get a date when you're free
3) Show a group of us how to do it and we'll group install

Unless, you're going for the one-off totally unique look . . . which i totally understand and respect

Yea, I prefer to keep it original, so it's not a kit lol, but if you ever find some projectors you want to retrofit, I am willing to give advice or even a hand. Just let me know if you need help sometime with projectors or turbos.

Isn't the left side supposed to be a little lower for incoming traffic? And how come it cost so much to make? Did you get both projectors from a NSX? Any particular year?

Can I yell dibs first or mention group buy when there isn't one...yet

The cutoff against the wall is similar to my wife's RX-8. For that kit, I'd pay $1K easy just for the lighting quality.

What do you think about putting projectors inside our stock housings? I've seen someone do it with a Audi projector and civic EK9 headlights.

Putting projectors in the stock housing would be pretty easy actually. I don't think it would look right though.

I just like the projector effect of the changing colors, and as long as it is bright, haha!
