I love how it's coming along. Like I said before, I have since catching up to do. The lights look top notch.

All lighted up

Coming along great, had that same idea with the lights just using Amber

I kind of stumbled across the idea, I knew I wanted to do something a little different then a standard projector retrofit. I was searching for ideas and stumbled across the led strip. I was in the process of doing the retrofit so I decided to go ahead and attempt. My first initial idea was to run it on the top but with the length and angle i went with the bottom and i personally like it alot better. I wanted to make my own design for a better fitment and more creativity but i opted out. I'm sure i'm not using the right name but I watched a video on someone making their own halos with plexiglass rods(Cant remember what it was called) seemed rather simple and not expensive. it would be nice to see someone do that and possibly the same style as mine but with a better angle and possibly wrapping up on the corners.

I see your posts on FB and your car has been coming along very nicely. I love the illumination bar at the bottom of the headlight housing in your retro fit.

Thank you! It's a never ending process, i feel as if the rear end will get the attention next. Have an idea for a diffuser, once I obtain the time i'll start mocking up my idea and eventually make the final product. It seems to be a little different taste then others, but i have slowly started to transition into the look i'm desiring. Slowly but surely it will get to where i'd like it to be. /maybe within the next 10 years.....lol

I would have assumed installing a Bisi header from the bottom would be the same story as the one-piece Logic/High End header. I was definitely prepared to drop the cross member/traction bar. I have been wondering if a tucked radiator would be worth the extra work for mine; maybe so. Thanks for getting back on that. Are you still getting a leak in the middle after the welding? One thing I would have tried while it was still a two-piece was exhaust sealing cement, as it's designed for slip-joins, which are never going to provide a perfect seal on their own.

I thought about that as well just opted to have them welded. No more leaks now.

So I got the header welded shut well as much as I could, pretty right fit in the middle. For someone to do this and install it Its a pain in the ass. If you have ac don't even bother, I had to drop the traction bar and remove the ac studs/threads on the block. Didn't wanna remove the radiator. It can be accomplished though just very difficult. I had leak issues so I decided to weld it shut.

Also as far as gains I can't really tell since I have now added a chipped ecu. It definitely gets up and goes now though.

Nice man what's your ig name? Appreciate the love!
