Can't wait to see them.

I have an Optima Red Top 34R in my car and have been very happy with it.

Just depends if you're willing to sacrfice high beams for looks. Once I got them on I have no regrets. Washing the car today and will post pics tonight.

Someone just finished a Q45 retro and said the output was "ok" and the cutoff was a little fuzzy.

TL's are still the best for the lower since you can keep the high/low and they have awesome output. The Q45 is the best looking so it comes down to whether you want more output or better looks.

Yeah it's me who just finished it...you're right though it comes down to output or looks.

It doesn't have to though. I have seen some amazing G45 output. If you don't like the output you could also consider some supercharged ballasts.

I picked up an Optima yellow top off of ebay for about 150 shipped 2 years ago. The thing is still going strong.
I bought it from indoaudio, he's still selling them. Here is a link for one that is 119 +48 shipping
http://cgi.ebay.com/OPTIMA-YELLOW-TOP-GEL-BATTERY-870-COLD-CRANKING-AMPS_W0QQitemZ250139263484QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item250139263484
If you decide to get it from him, ask if he has the reverse terminal batteries. If not, you will have to rewire your G, like I did, but I bought the battery for a different car that I sold for the G.
Good luck!
