G Sedan...looking good bro....looking forward to seeing the changes come along.

Whew... nice!

I know I'm the first and only right now with this bi-xenon retrofit set-up. And mine's done a little different than what everybody usually does too. I saw a thread with somebody asking about wanting these projectors in their 05 sedan, and that got me a little worried for some reason.

IGT has only ever put together one retrofit for a sedan so far... an 05 to be exact! I had the projectors from the 08 sedans put in place of the high/fog with a few extra trimmings. I'll have them on by tomorrow night.
