You could add a couple flux capacitors, there was this guy on this documentary from a few years back who could travel in time, it was pretty cool

Man it looks like you have done almost everything.

Were you talking about upgrading your xenons to brighter ones??

car looks great...

You sure you wanna go 1200K? You'll have way less light output, and the color may look "ricey".

IMO 6000k low beam and 6000k hid fogs are the best.
go for the jl subs.

I put in 20000K low beans and fog lights and they look awesome and my friend has 12000k in his G35 and they look great. Definately go for the JLs I have 1 13W7 with the 1000/1 amp, sounds, sick but make sure you change the interior speakers because the highs wont be able to keep up with the bass.

i say the hell with the JL stuff unless you already have it. There is far better product out there. The w7 are sloppy. If you simply must stay with JL do the w6's instead.

my two cents....


I just had a JL 10w6 installed....just to add more bass to the stock system......powered with a JL 500.1 amp...
i think it sounds pretty good and fills in the music well.....if u are an audiophile, then yeah...there are far more better and expensive things out....but if it fullfills what u you want, then go with the W6.....save some money ....

In what sense are Jl's Sloppy, Ive had, L7's, Alphasonik's, Phoneix Gold and Clipse subs and the JL's sound better than all of them
