Nice I was thinking of buying the C-West Sleek lights but was worried about Lighting. How did you put HIDs into the Cat housing or did you FAB something up? Which HIDs fit and from which car are they from? I can get either Acura TL or Nissan Maxima lights. Not sure which model those 2 sets of lights are. Can you share the info?

I didn't do anything, I paid someone to do it. Well hopefully this helps. I use Hella 90mm projectors to replace my Catz low beams.(you cannot put HIDs in catz fog lights because it will not fit and it will melt the housing). The HIDs I used are D2s bulbs off of ebay. You basically have to make your own mountings to hold the Hella 90mm in place. That's the hard part. With material and labor, I spent a lot on it.

Nice car. I always wondered what the 99 spec front with C-West sleek headlight kit looked like. Now I know. When you get the 99 spec spoiler on there remember to post pics.

yes, I will lose my middle fog lights once I get my greddy front mount. I won't lose the side fog lights because those are OEM ones. No, the lip is not molded on. Bumper is urethane where the front license plate has been shaved off. I want to post one more pix but I can't for some reason.

Nice looking but take some more pics out of the shade, unless you're afraid the sun will hurt your baby.

Bleh! The 99 wing and your current wing aren't that different. I never cared for the 99 wing. Awful compared to the original. My favorite stock wing is the '96 where it only connects in two places instead of four like the 93-95 spoiler. Looks very nice.

Aside from that your car looks very nice. But I would say stick with the current wing. '99s are boxy and square and take away from the cars natural smooth lines. Honestly I prefer no wing at all. Makes for a clean line all the way to the back.

I am a big fan of painted front spoilers. Very nice.
