Not get, but make. Id have already done it but im a lil worried about the electrical side seeing as im ducks at that crap.
You need: Ballast Harness Projector Bulbs Shroud The projector used in that picture is the Mercedes E55, with E Class shrouds. All the above would cost about 650 dollars delivered to AUS. End up about 35-40 dollars cheaper if you can make up a harness yourself EDIT: Added cost. Last edited by Ice88; 13-08-2009 at 06:13 PM. |

around $500ea for the lip, assuming 3 were to buy at the same time.
as for the HID's, figure in $100. the headlights on the other hand, are a custom job

I've decided next weekend will be a dedicated car weeekend, and apart from giving the car a service, actually pulling apart the rear and installing the strut brace thats been lying here for 3 weeks now Theres also the matter of prepping & painting both the turtle shell, fuse box & strut bar in a more sedate metallic grey (as the bright blue kinda kills the look im after...)
My only concern is that when I install the brace, the sub box wont quite fit under the strut bar...

always good to have one as a precaution, was given that one as an 18th (before I bought the mazda) and is subsequently out of date, 1st pic is near 3 years old now..

starting from $24.95, they are by far a great asset to have in any car no matter what.
I'll wait till monday (or till the pounding in my ears stops) to see if it is the same, missus says that her eyelashs were vibrating, so thats saying something

Im actually apposed to cabin firing subs, as with other installs I have had in previous cars they didnt produce the sub frequency I was after that rear firing offered.
Seeing as the sub is on a slight angle (25 degree's?), it seems to be ok, but more importantly giving sufficient room for when the strut bar is installed. Another good point is that the sub wont be damaged as well, so all is good

Bit the bullet & installed the strut brace this afternoon, took no longer then 15mins to disassemble the interior plastics, and another hour marking & cutting the seat belt towers to fit. Due to the beaded weld of the AutoExe's bracket construction, cutting was the only option.
Verdict? $140 well spent makes a substantial difference in cornering at 60km/h, makes it a lot more rigid... Pics: from the back RHS bracket LHS bracket how the sub sits now Going to be cutting the interior plastics on Monday afternoon, didnt have time this afternoon. Will update once done.
