Cool! Like a mood ring for your car. Green for everyday tooling around. Blue for date nights. Red for the days you put the 94 octane in it!
All kidding aside, they are pretty doggone slick, but I'm not sure I've got the geek cred or the street swagger to pull them off for my ride.
I wanna see the red installed.
Mild bummer if I can't rationalize them as decreasing the odds of a laser ticket, but our rides are reportedly already comparatively hard to get a good bounceback signal from the laser...

Nicely all worked, hope you are forgetting all about your cuts & bruises now Makes the car look much younger and sporty. Good move on that.

I'd be really interested to see how the green demon eyes turns out in pure darkness in all honesty

Oh and no-no letting Litronic owners bully you! Your projectors are the result of a few years (+4) R&D which apparently just recently paid off. Talking about the clear elliptical lens & bowl's reflection angles that the manufacturer worked out throughout their versions of the H1 High Performance projector. The beam is much sharper and intense than the Lit's - we've compared them side-by-side.

And the Lit don't get to have that unique and sexy blue spectrum color cut-off line neither!

RE your stripes, I'd say keep them for now. If really you go with your idea of adding rocker panels, you may find out that they will look even better than they are already.

Thanks for the awesome pictures, that is pretty cool of you Charles

We got about 6 inches of snow last night, though it may make for some nice pictures

I live in a new neighborhood that is still being developed, so we don't have many streetlights yet. I'll just pull down to the end of the cul-de-sac where it's dark and snap some pics when I get a chance.

It's my new favorite picture

Is there any way to get rid of the shiny upper part of the headlight? I finally got a pair of clear headlights and I think I'm ready to go with the projectors. I want to color match the inside but that shiny part would clash too much on my black boxster.

Which part are you referring to? The eyebrow/surround thing? I know I saw one painted...I think it was in the main thread for Fred's projectors, on a red Box. No idea which of the nearly 50 pages though.
