    hey guys. as i said earlier I have made some small changes to the car so i'll start up a new thread.

    many people on here are not fans of the altezza tail lights but i got them to match it with the headlights and i have a white car so it blends in lol =] enjoy.

    Hey mate. I got them cheap. Bought them of ebay from a Sydney seller. Didn't want to risk anything that was coming from Hong Kong. The H1 Conversion Kit cost me $158 including Postage.

    Thanks mate =] I can't go lower even if I wanted to thanks to RACQ but yeah, sits nice =]

    Regarding HID's, I tryed fitting them my self ... got the ***ts and took it to Autobarn and they did it for me for $30 cause I already started. but they look great at night I tell yah that. Makes that much difference.

    I just checked out your car. Looks good. Great job on removing that black stripe ... im so gonna attend that very soon. Your wheels suit the black altezza headlights :p

    are the 8000's illegal man? they look blue.
    cos i was thinking of getting 6000 hid's, i think they are more white.
    heaps nice tho, love the ride height are they superlows?
    love the rims too man.

    good stuff looks the goods

    Thanks alot mate =]

    Nah mate. 8000k isn't illegal it just has more blue blend to it with a mix of white obviously. anything above 8000k is a waste imo. 10000k gives you more blue with poor penetration and 12000k is violet. So it's a waste.It's just about colour/looks from 10000k on.

    Height of the car is 30mm front and 40mm back. The guy used springs that are in between lows and superlows for the back and just lows at the front I think ... cause superlows are illegal with RACQ which sucks balls.

    yeah the lights are crazy at night. Everthing is so much more visible. It's worth the money =]

    I wish I had ultra lows ... but can't :( but atm im happy with how it sits. if i have 3 people in the back it drops way too much though and can hardly go over bumps ... :(

    lol. i painted mine myself. masked it up, sanded it back, done about 6 coates of plastic primer then six coates of heron white. came up a breeze. best part is it cost me less than $50 bucks to do. got everything i needed from supercheap. have a go at it mate. you'll be glad you did:thumbsup:

    Hey mate, yeah im thinknig about it ... went to 2 different places, one quoted me ****ing $440 to paint them ,,, theother one said if i want to take them off its going to damage the paint on the doors so i would need to paint the whole door ... so much **** involved ... but i seen one of the guys here he posted a thread on how to remove it (forgot his name) so i might follow that otherwise im looking to pay ****loads for them that's why they are still there. lol
