Small update:
I decided to do the q45 projector retrofit last weekend. I know they're not the best for light output but I've always wanted to do it.
Also got a nikon d5200 so I'm still working on my photo taking and editing

I like those headlights, even though they say the LS headlights put out the best output. Those look better than OEM for sure. What air kit you have and what fender mods you have done? Looks great, headlights mix it up that much more.

Update:
Well I haven't done any new mods to the car so it is looking the same. I did however register and got accepted into Stance Nation Texas that took place yesterday. So onto some pics that i took at the show.
During staging taken with my nikon d5200
After a lot of people left the building taken with my Galaxy S4
To my surprise, I came home with the Futura Design VIPCAR choice award!

car looks great! i am planning on buying airlift in the next few weeks, but before i jump on it. how do you like airlift? do they go low enough for you? looks like the rear isnt tucking because the fender is sitting on the lip right? my ultimate goal is to tuck the lip of wheels, just afraid that airlift might not go low enough. thanks for your help.

Hey thanks! I like my airlift a lot. They can go really low if needed. Yeah my quarters sits in between my tire and lip. With the right offsets, widths and/or bodywork you can tuck

Those wheels are beautiful and so is the car of course. They kinda look like Trafficstars.

UPDATE:
Finally got my rear arms and front camber adapters put on. No more messed up suspension geometry lol. I'm running -6.5 of camber all around. Finally put new rear rotors on after 2 years of sitting in the garage. Got accepted into Wekfest Texas and I will be making the 9-10 hour drive. Also running smaller adapters and pulled the rear quarters to get the wheels to tuck. OK now on to the pics

I love extreme builds but I especially appreciate builds like this that don't need too much to make a statement.

I think I'm just gonna do the red and clear outer tail lights to keep it simple. If I decide to do led front turn signals, I'll look into going led tails
I got the grill from Chrispy on here a few years ago. Projector mod is cool but next time I'm gonna have somebody else do it haha
No problem on the questions. I'm more than happy to answer them if I can
