[QUOTE=NFSP G35;5851555]That should work.
The glare actually shouldn't be all that bad.

Another option (really the 'right' way) would be to dismantle both the new headlights and your existing ones and swap the reflector assembly from the old ones into the new ones thus converting them to D2R style.
Oh, and if anyone is wondering, the housings are the same, as mine has something about D2R stamped in the plastic of the housing, despite the fact that they are OEM halogen (H1)

yeah i dont wanna open it and go thru that mission again,lol
but u think it would work if i do what i want to do?

 

Have anyone modified there 2 inserts at the bottom of there oem front bumper? Is there other options besides the cheap looking mesh ?

 

I'm tempted to get the mesh selling on ebay for about 50$... there are about 4 different styles. I think it will look better than the plastic inserts we have. btw you definitely will have to get it in black, silver or chrome looks really rice! If anyone already did this please most some pics.

 

how much for it? I'm in Chicago would you be willing to ship?

 

Can you link?

 

Thank you for that info will be buying that this weekend. Hopefully all this will help out.[/QUOTE]

hey bro i have a 03 sedan automatic as well and gas sucks
if you could get your hands on a jwt pop charger and z tube
it will be great it seems like my gas millage has gotten better.
also makes your car sound better

 

^ thanks for the tip will looking inot that.


im also looking into getting a front bumper. is there a difference between the 03 headlights and the 05 headlights?? they look the same to me.

 

^ i got this info from the look here before posting sticky it answered a lot of my ?'s

All the body parts in front of the doors changed. They do not swap between 03/04 and 05/06 unless you change everything.
-The Hood now has a single line down the center and a slightly different shape
-The headlights are also slightly different on the outside and have a different bezel on the inside
-The grille is different
-The front bumper cover is different now painted all the way down with two larger openings on each side like the coupe
-The fenders are different to fit the new hood and headlights
-The side markers are the same
-The side skirts are now color matched
-The rear bumper cover is also color matched and is slightly more aggressive
-As mentioned above there is now a trunk release button under the driver side tail light.
-Different wheel style

 

^The fenders actually aren't different, but the headlights are.

 

I have an 05 coupe with the older back lights, if I switch to the newer ones, can I mod somehow to utilize the trunk release button? Thanks in advance.

 

Any issues with switching back from synthetic to regular? I was using Castrol GTX and then I switched to Castrol Syntec to see if it would wear any better but at nearly double the price I'm not sure especially since I had blackstone run my GTX sample and it came back with flying colors. I won't know how the syntec does until I change the oil to back to GTX or keep it with syntec.

 

I have a 04 sedan with a whole in the resonator. I'm about to secure a used coupe midpipe locally, but I'm concerned about exactly how much modification is required to get it to fit (i.e. heat shield/cross bar interference, etc.).

Given that I'm not able to do this myself, I don't want the mechanic to throw their hands up in the air when they notice it doesn't fit and/or do some labour intensive work that's going to drive my costs up.

Exactly how much (or little..hopefully!) work is required to get it to fit?

 

It will still bolt up even if there's an interference problem... it doesn't prevent it from being installed, it just causes it to rattle.

About 4 swings of a hammer fixes any interference problems.... but how much your mechanic charges you for such precious fine tuning (sarcasm) will depend greatly on said mechanic.

 

Will 05-06 splash guards bolt on directly to an 03-04?

 

^No. They'll fit, but need modification.
