Ray made that and it couldn't go all the way around my filter because my hood wouldn't shut. The hood is already cut out so the hood can close because of the size of the turbo.

NICE! If I ever go sleek headlights, this would be the only kit I would go with! I always loved this kit! Car looks awesome!

Double sided tape isn't enough when your going 145mph+.

I disagree. A local drag racer here in Texas has the actual RE headlight kit and he didn't use rivets. His car is incredibly fast as well. I think his best time is a 9.78 @ 143mph.

urethane adhesive

i used to use this to install windshields when i worked in a body shop many years ago. very easy to use, but messy.

I know what you eman with those RE lights... It seems everyone who does a write up or whwores out their photos has issues with the fitment and quality of the headlights they offer. Otherwise tho it looks like a great set-up and I hope it works well for you. I like how you fabbed the intake ductwork...

And

on the car altogether
