HID kit see here:

more specifically these:

Seems expensive but you will have epic lights, not blind others on the road and slightly more legal (still isnt though)

Chuck some pics up if you can, I don't get tired of looking at BGs. Decent mod list, but I'd skip things like pedals to get a new exhaust or BPT sooner rather than later.

Shweet ill come have a chat when i drop that dash out...if work finishes sweet I might rip it out this arvo. Id avoid the short shifter kit unless youre gonna strengthen the box.....heard due to the wuick shift it puts a lot of strain on a standard box which is why I havent done it to mine

Nothing wrong with a short shifter at all. It comes down to user error if there's issues.

True rupe....I'd rather not take the risk if i became careless with shifting softly

Use imgur.com for pics. Free, no file or dimension limits and you can group images into galleries and give out the gallery links.

Had a look at your gallery, looks pretty clean. I like the colour on the cam cover, afm and rad mounts too, different. And burn those wheels in a fire. I have a set of 15s I might want to get rid of...

No idea on price, couple hungee without tyres probably. They take a 205/50/15 and won't scrub at all. They are currently my 'race' rims with KU36s on, but since I put my car into race and project mode I'll be swapping the KU36s to my MS03 rims which will leave those mesh set available. Just shoot me a PM if you want them, no one else will get them.
