To be road legal in CA you need a hood and functional headlights with indicators. In anticipation for my upcoming headlight build I installed dual wiring harnesses/relays as I will have quad HID projectors.
I still need to the new projectors into my housings so in the mean time I will run the oem Hella projectors. Temp setup complete! No lens needed!
Hood going back on, not particularly easy with one person.
My aftermarket roundel was in rough shape and literally fell apart. I said F-it and Plasti-dipped it until I find a better solution.
Hood is .6mm crooked but I will realign it once the bumper is on so I can make sure everything is perfect.
Received a metal clutch fork pivot which will replace the oem plastic unit and offer a more reliable clutch activation down the road.
The eyebrows were removed from the lens, disassembled, and the acrylic LED tube was frosted.
Headlight trim is painted and curing, I went with a "special" textured finish.
