yea for sure. thats wat i meant it, it wouldnt fit if you would just try to stick it in without modding lol. I started to mod the bowl to mount the projectors but i might end up making a custom bracket for it instead.

that process alone discouraged me from attacking this project on my own. Especially since you pretty much get 1 shot at it. LOL
Me too Aaron. I just knew I would screw it up...haha.

For the money I would think u would get more bang for ur buck by getting other mods like new front, sides, or wheels IMO.
I could do the sills, front, rear but in the end it would be very expensive as well (1-2K+). Doing it in pieces would just look wierd. Coils are on the list but those will be 1k+ after install. Sooooo, what is a guy to do

You can use them. same thing as oem. But the FX projectors look long. You might run into some issues with length.

Are you asking about the clear lens? I'm pretty sure Aaron and I are using the same one. Vivek and Chris (G35papa) are using it as well.

Bought mine from here:

I would do coils before projectors.

Having projectors with a stock body with stock wheels is like having a really expensive tie with a cheap suit.
