Painted my grills gloss black and the middle matte.




Added a stripe that I had left over in the brake duct. Yay or Nay. I think these will tie in the Red eyebrow (In the process right now) and Red Angel eyes.



6000 D1S Xenon on the left and stock xenons on the right. I have John's pre LCI headlights. Had to get the ballast, control unit, D1S and red LEDs to start the project. Missing a Lamp holder for the D1S so I have my D2S headlight installed on the right.

Is that passenger-side scoop for show?

Nope. I did the "Dinan-like Intake" mod.

Thanks. I think I'm going to keep them. They will go well with the Red eyebrows, Red AE and the RPI scoops. Or I should paint the brake ducts like nicke60gre
