tasty, i wanna take my car up to the mountains after a good wash, i need to wax it too no homo, anywho looks great, mmm hid retrofit? nice

 

Niiiiice.

 

Havent got around to posting pics...the headlight install was done around late April

An old forum buddy was parting out his integra, which included his TSX retrofitted headlights. I had to pick them up. They have the "washer" trick which creates the more colorful cutoff, but sacrifices the cutoff sharpness a bit. oh well.


the new headlights in. the surrounding area of the housing was painted black to combat glare.


these are the plug and play HID's. even at 5000k they were still too blue for me. the cutoff "looks" clean, but the light distribution was pretty bad. the ground directly in front of the car wasnt lit well, and lateral coverage was also not that great. I still had to drive with the fog lights on to feel comfortable. also take note how much light is above the cutoff. GLARE !!!


these are the TSX retrofit HID's. before you make fun of the glare, the flares of light above the cutoff are caused by the wide lateral coverage bouncing off the integra bumper. unless u bring the projector all the way out beyond the recessed area of the bumper, you cannot get rid of this. also, the three lines that reflect the stock halogen bulbs also refract some of the light by the new HID. h: the lateral coverage and foreground coverage basically negates the use of the foglights. its great. there are cleaner TSX/integra retrofits out there, but this is good enough for me.

 

I had to wait for some stuff to come in before doing this, so thats why I lagged on the project, but I finally got around to doing the carpet swap in early August.

Carpet out





Side by side





Ooops dont have the after's yet. i'll post them soon.

 

Nasty! The new carpet looks MUCH nicer. Keep it coming.

 

cool headlights In for before/after carpet shots.

:edit: nice 4runner

 

As promised...took these today. Along with the JDM SI-Vtec floor mats.

Keep in mind the flash makes everything brighter and reflect more. the carpet is a lot darker in person.

With 97+ LS floor mats and 94-95 dark gray carpet. i guess they changed the cross member design in 97 as the carpet isnt a perfect fit. oh well.



No floormats



JDM floormats



US floormats





No floormats





JDM floormats - as you can see they were designed for RHD vehicles so they dont fit perfectly. oh well.





what do u guys think? thanks for looking!
