Have you ever had them before?

I've had them since 2008 and I haven't herd anything but good from other people that's seen the light out-put compared to shitty hazy oem light.

yeah yeah, fucking retro-fitted HID projectors are going to be zillion times better.

They can't be any worse than what is on there now - I have to use my high beams when I'm on a road with low lighting :\

Lol. I dont know about everyone else but my zenki oem lights are just there to not get me pulled over. Similar setup as if I put paper with a light behind it thought that may still be brighter. I think the only times my lights because useful are in the absolute dark but then the moon normally shines brighter if its a full moon.
Eventually, I will be installed the HID's I got for the zenki but not doing retrofit or any of that. Just installing my clean pair of oem lens and the HIDs.
Better than what I have I am sure.

Crap phone pics, but you get the idea. the black car's kit is spray painted, purple car's kit is 2 stage paint that's 2+ yrs old.

I used to have cool looking cars...man on man.
I started a thread about me doing this and showed the steps and end result. All I got were people ragging on me for spray bombing instead of real paint...
No one believes me that its all in the prep work.

I went from hazy USDM/shitty HID kit to Euro Glass/same shitty HID kit. The HID kit helped punch through the hazy USDM so light output wasn't bad. The Euro Glass ones are the best way to go...

Good meeting you at the torrance meet (I was the red s14), nice to see a zenki actually painted and taken care of. My car ended up snapping a brake line in half on the way home (wastegate smacked it) but luckily I got it home ok.

Other than repairing the brake line, here's what I was up to today:

Nice meeting you at the meet too. Sick job with the gauges. good way of hiding it from the public to see. Stock brake line snap?

Retro looks good, exactly like my zenki ones. I think the e46 shroud is the way to go and keeps it from looking bug eyed.

It is not painted yet.

18x10 up front
18x10.5 in the back.

I believe the offsets were +5ish all around.

Good choice, I remember seeing this on ebay a few weeks ago. I bought an auto notchtop motorset and it has been a fantastic motor. It was one of the cleanest motorsets I've ever seen. Now, you are aware that the turbo is the same as an s14 notchtop right?
