My FD invades campus

Went out for about an hour tonight getting some good shots around University of Florida. I need to get some day-time shots so you can see the pearl. Thought these came out pretty good and i would share, my photography needs a little work and its not a good camera but not to bad for a beginner:

they are PIAA Type Wedge Bulb 5W Super Plasma GTX, easily found on ebay, needed to do some slight modifications to the sockets for them to work though.

thanks for all the kind words guys. Im not really a big fan of the burnout sides, if i were to change out the feed ones it would be for 99spec or apex'i ones.

thats kind of a dick thing to say but its your opinion, i have had the feed front and i didnt like it, the car flows well in person with what it has now and the lighting is much better than stock. Cant get much better than 3piece forged advan wheels + considering you have mesh wheels as well.

I think that the car would look much better with either the 99 specs or the apexi painted the same color as the car. Only because the feed are black and subtle and with a low front end and rear they are almost not noticable. So it looks like there is a gap or something. Otherwise the car looks awesome.
