I think we all go through the ups and downs of "keep it and change this" or "sell it and start over"

I wrestle with it pretty much every day...only time (and money) will tell where I wind up. But I do know I still love driving the car, and I still catch people looking at it in parking lots...and those are the things that make it hard to let go.

I'm going through that too, everyday I change my mind on what I want to do, it's almost paid off and I keep going back and forth on keeping it as is, slow build up, minor de-mod and keep it as stock, or de-mod, sell, buy and a beater and save for a house (clubhouse leader changes daily, yesterday I was very close to taking pictures of my s/e wheels to sell, and start putting my stock intake back on, pcm out, etc. and today I'm back looking online for a downpipe)

sorry, thread jack over, can't wait to see it painted all the same color should look really good boosten, and good luck on the job hunt my wife is miserable at her current job and has filled out over 150 applications (has a masters in social work) and has gotten 2 phone calls and no interviews

I don't have poor light output... yes projectors have better light output, but my headlights actually have decent output and good enough for me.

If you like the looks of the stockers better, I respect your opinion even if I disagree with it. If you think the light output of stockers is anywhere near that of projectors (not even mentioning the light being focused to the right place instead of being scattered everywhere), I again disagree, but not so respectfully. wink

Just got back from getting it professionally detailed by a good friend of mine. Another great job by Ron. Guy does amazing work and definitely knows how to use a buffer! Love the turnout on my car. Will have him throw some Zaino on the hood when it gets painted in the next few weeks. Other than the hood looking shitty, the rest of the car looks amazing. Cant even lean on the car without sliding off shocked

Products used: Zaino Z2, Zaino Z5, Zaino Polish Sealant, and Zaino Paint Cleaner. 5 step process and 3 coats of Z5. Thing realy shines!

Just my opinion, I'd say you def. need to paint some stuff the color of the body. Too much two tone everywhere. But those wheels will look sick.
