the headlights are ebay specials

.i know a lot of people on here dog the ebay headlights but they have worked just fine for me and i like the way they look.as for the rims they were on my friends celica and it got totalled so one day when we were bored we decided to slap them on my car not even knowing if they would fit and theyve been on ever since.like i said above i dont even know what company they are but they look good.after paint im getting bronze rotas so these rims will be for sale if you are interested.

Get stock headlights. Those look awful. Like Arts and Crafts Time Googley Eyes.

see some ppl dont like them.i think what i will do is when the halos burn out on these i will get stock ones and put a HID kit on it.

Ok everyone just as an update i dropped the car off last night and they are working on it as we speak and i am going by there after work today to check on progress and talk to the guys about the paint and when it will actually be done.i miss my baby already but its for the much greater good so she will be looking hot when shes done

vainot4u · 05-17-2010, 08:50 AM

looks good dude! I like the headlights myself, but what can I say I'm weird I suppose. I see you sanded the front clip, did you end up doing the entire car? I just got done painting my own car, be glad you're having the pros do it...should look nice!!

I too have recently purchased the OBX twin loop, but haven't thrown it on yet...

BTW I'd be interested in the rims if they ever became available...

thanks for the compliments.as far as the headlights go i will eventually be buying some TSX retrofits but not until these burn out.and the rims will be for sale whenever i buy new ones.i know thats really vague since im not sure when i will be buying new rims but i will let you know when i do.the problem is im trying to save up money for a motorcycle so trying to cut down on purchases for the car...for now

aboone78 · 05-17-2010, 11:38 AM

ohh ya and my stock front bumper,spoiler, and honeycomb grill will be for sale as soon as i get the car back.PM if anyone is interested

aboone78 · 05-25-2010, 12:20 PM

UPDATE: ok sorry to leave everyone hangin but i ran into a small problem.i wont go into the details but i had to reschedule the paint job to June 7th

so that is when it is going in and it should be done by June 11th so i should have pics up shortly after that.sorry everybody

oh ya your telling me.its kinda sad i've never had a car that was one single color

.my last car (89 ford crown vic aka:boat on wheels) had the paint peeling off of it and now my half painted lude but i guess that will make it all the more special.and those gold rims will look soooooo sexy on it once its done

aboone78 · 06-07-2010, 08:14 AM

UPDATE: well the lude went in for paint this morning...again

and SHOULD be done by friday or saturday.I will have pics up as soon as I can and I have also recently installed clear front turn signals, authentic clear fogs, and TSX retrofits done by prelude1897.the car will be sick once its done.

hondamanmark · 06-14-2010, 05:23 PM

i know your car is done!!!!!!!! where are the pics???????????????????????

tom27897 · 06-14-2010, 07:45 PM

For no-name rims those actually look pretty good lol, can't wait to see the transformation tho!

indylude18 · 06-14-2010, 07:51 PM

Indy is being hit with a monsoon right now, so I doubt he gets to take pictures anytime soon.

I've seen phone pictures of the car already, it's squeaky clean.

indylude18 · 06-15-2010, 03:45 PM

That sucks. You just got it back and all purdy-like but you have to take it back to the shop already.
