Looks good. I had a set of HIDs that looked very similiar to yours that I got off ebay and they messed up in 2 weeks.

They were under warranty so I got a new set and never put them on. I gave them to a guy on here and he ran into the same problem. He just took them apart and resoldered and sealed the ballasts and they work fine.

Good luck! Hope to see you running around during the cruise. Maybe we will get lucky and line them up at a stoplight. Last time I went some guy in a white s5 n/a was so cocky that his engine had more horsepower than mine. I smoked him with an extra person in the car =).

Those wheels look much better on your car!
When you decide to get some new coilovers to go lower give me a good price on those.

check out my build thread if you want to know how to make your coil overs lower i have the same as your just no damper adjustment. any shock shop should be able to do it.

your car would be so sick if it was panel beaten and resprayed the red. i really like it! some crown vic's would look mean as well

I checked out your build pretty sick man, I don't have any shops like that near me but I'm pretty happy with the stance it has. My 7 is a 4 lug and probably won't be going 5 lug anytime soon after replacing all that brake work but I do plan on crown vic wheels lol

thank you I really do appreciate the love


here are a couple better pics

so sad on the dents





this one shows the dent in the passenger headlight cover but I switched both out the other day for much better ones just no pics right now and I was looking at my car and found new dents and what looks like someone took a cup or something and scratched the top of my car looks like I'm gonna start looking for new doors and possibly wide body sometime in the future...

I'm gonna keep all my turbo goods but I think I'm gonna go a different route with it, I'm gonna leave it n/a for the time being I might go the turbo route sometime down the road but I really wanna get some t2 housings do a peripheral port and 50mm itb's, on injectors I'm thinking 850cc primaries and 1000cc secondaries any input on injectors would be greatly appreciated. I've been researching since I know some will say to do that I just like getting input on stuff.
