When are you changing the headlight to 6000k? I want to see how they match to the fogs
And yes I will post pics after they are in.

Looks good, Scott! Get Mike (niqxdoof) to do the eyebrow mod for you now
Then again, the eyebrow mod does look sooo nice.

Thanks Vlad. I think that after we put in the 6000K headlights and the 8500K GP Thunder AE bulbs,I might be done with lighting mods for a while.

Oh, you know you're getting a case of the mod bug big-time, amigo!
I'd love twin RPI scoops but I don't want to drill into the car as I might have trouble on lease return.
The only other mod I was seriously considering was the Dinan Stage 1 ECU remap. However, given the recent threads, it does not appear to increase power. If it doesn't, I don't want it. Removing the 155 mph limiter is not important to me as I am never going that fast on the road -- too much risk.
And far as wheels go, I love the 172s (which I also need for lease return) and don't have room for another set of wheels (besides the winter ones that my mother in law reluctantly tolerates in her garage). If I had room, I'd pick up the Breyton Race GTS wheels or the VMR V710s.
So for me, once the lighting mods are done, the only other mod I might do is an ECU remap -- if I was aware of one with proven power gains. If I owned the car, I'd do the RPI exhaust which has significant proven power gains.

Looks good! Bright, just like I them.
Those of us in the Nordic Countries need to put some money to work and get John over here to do some mad lighting mod installs on our cars.
John can bring his parts direct to Stockholm from EWR, and do the installs in the parking garage at Arlanda!
