Where did you get the custom under panel from and is it easier to take off than stock?

You did it right by getting it professionally installed and painted. Not my style but the fitment looks awesome.

The MR headlamps look the straight hotness though!!

Hey, when you swapped to MR headlights what all had to be swapped over from the stock headlights. Just ballast and bulb assembly??? My car's been damaged and I'm getting MR headlights and tails out of the deal, but the right headlight was smashed and the bulb was wrecked. I need to know what I'm going to have to buy to get the headlight complete. Thanx.

I also have a question about the MR head lights. How is the visibility? Do you blind other drivers? Is the beam pattern biased towards the left side of the road now? By the way, looks great.

I will finish it up in the next 2 months. Funds weren't all there for everything. Insurance covered the front end obviously because of a fender bender so the sideskirts and rear bumper will have to come out of my pocket which is no big deal just that the company I work at is shutting down for 2 weeks for christmas and I don't get paid . Rest of the parts will come after I get back to work.

The body shop fabricated that underpanel for me. I gotta say they did a really nice job and I think its just as easy to remove as stock. When I get the car up on a rack I'll get some better pictures of it. Let me talk to the shop and see if he'd be interested on making more of those panels.

You are correct. The only thing that wouldn't work is the foglights which I already knew. I wanna see about finding a part # for the harness to make those work.
