Mods mods, what should I do next?

Well, I have $1000 I want to spend on my 03.0 Sedan 5at.

I'm considering

HID's

Or Spacer / z-tube / pop charger

Or Save a lil more for some teins.

I currently have stillen adjustable sways, that's about it.

I'm just looking for ideas. I really like HID's, I do almost all of my driving at night, and would love to have them. I'm disapointed that the car didnt come with them. But also, I like a great-handling vehicle.

Also, being an 03, it's lacking a little power, from what I liked when driving an 06 loaner.

Any other ideas? What shal I DOOOOOOOOOOOOO?????

HiDs would be a great upgrade. I came from a 9003/4 light maxima. Cripes I didn't even know if my light were even on. I've seen a few hid headlight assemblies on ebay. Or were you looking just to retro fit a kit?

Not sure!

I'd love to do a dual-projecter retrofit, 2 projectors in each side, but that'd put me way over my budget. I'de have to buy two pairs of projectors, bulbs, and balasts (and of course I only want the best, so $$$) plus another set of headlight housings, since it will be a long drawn out project and my G is my only ride... Maybe I'll just go for it... I dont know.....

You could buy some 03 light assemblies and just swap them in. Not sure about the plug compatibility. Might have to do some custom. Or buy a HID kit for whatever bulb socket you have. Not sure about the cut offs with an aftermarket kit into your halogens though. Should be okay.

Why thank you. I think they are the best and most would agree but you never know. The SC430 projectors are right up there with the S2k's.

You are right, a projector conversion like that would set you back quite a bit more than $1k if you have someone else do it. You should be able to get all the parts and do it yourself for that much.

If you want HID's the best results would come from getting a set of oem headlights with D2R bulbs and ballasts. The next option is a set of aftermarket HID's with H1 bulbs for your non-hid housings. The output will not be as good but they will still help.

If you want go-fast mods get a motordyne spacer.

ttrank, love your lights, do you have pics of both low/hi seprate beam patterns? Would this work on Canadian model cars with DRLS?
