While i do agree the 06 projectors are the gold standard for these cars, I opted to install these for half the price and retrofit with morimoto H1s. I prefer the functionality of the DRL LED strips, and with the retrofit, the H1 has a far superior output than the 06 projectors as well as a more crisp cut off. Also, there was no way in hell I was keeping that ridiculous halo ring hooked up. I should have removed it when I was in there.

While many believe that the 06 OEM lights are ideal, there is nothing wrong with aftermarket headlights. Your car, your choice. We all have the choice to do what we want to our own car, whether to modify or stay stock.

A lot of members here have spacers it's a great little mod that will definitely enhance the looks. Not sure if the widened stance has any effect on handling, I would suspect it has minor benefits to that as well, but nothing too crazy. I have 20mm on the fronts and 25mm on the rears and all 4 wheels sit quite flush with the fenders and definitely looks more proper. That was one of the first things I did to my car.Seeing stock G's now , I can't believe how much the wheels are tucked !

Are there any vendors on site that sell spacers discounted or should I just order from Amazon or something online? I'll probably go with 25mm all around. Are they difficult to install?
I'm currently running Tien S-Tech springs, about an inch and a half drop. Will this effect the spacers? I just want my wheels out to line up with the fenders. I'm afraid I'm going to get too far or not far enough out.
I was looking into the indivia exhaust actually it sounds quite nice. Just need to save up.

Any experts feel free to chime in if i'm wrong, but here is my take...I would suggest going with a brand name for spacers because there's a safety factor you want to take into consideration, but all in all.. you are probably okay with getting anything made of the standard t6-6061 aluminum., but IMO, i'd feel a bit safer knowing the product was backed with a reliable reputation. As for spacers size.. I would say that the most you could go without the tire protruding out from the fender at the top is probably 25mm front, 30mm rear. They aren't difficult to install, but ensure you have a torque wrench so everything is torqued to spec. You'll probably want to have you rear fenders rolled to avoid rubbing, but with your drop, i'd try and measure up everything before install as you might be rubbing even with rolled fenders. I'm running 350z H-techs with the rear spring mount mod and I'm certain I would be rubbing if my rear fenders were not rolled. Lots to take into consideration so here's a good link in which this topic is discussed in detail....

So I finished paining my grille yesterday, forgot to save a pic to post
But I think it came out very nice, for my first plasti-dip project that is.
The black grille looks MUCH MUCH better than the chrome grille imo.
Here are some pics, not the best quality sorry I used my phone.
What do you think?
