Talking Washed the pollen off the MR!!!

Well, I finally washed off the pollen. It really needs waxing and I also found several scratches .... Oh well, cant keep it pristine for ever... Anyway, I put the BBSs back on for the summer and it looks pretty good particularly with the jdm MR tailights

I found some cheapass car wash at Big Lots.... not so good but better than nothing. At any rate, the little glass cleaning towels worked pretty good on the glass and did a fair job on the dashboard as well as removing the brake dust from the wheels

I love 'em. If you don't wanna pay the $$$ for the real ones, the ones evodave does look good in pictures (never seen a set in person (i'm not much for pulling apart and painting myself, i said i'm goin with the real stuff on the evo))

either way, lookin good.

They do look nice, how much do they cost? Also, is the whole enchilada replaced? I mean the HID lights and all, or just the housing and lenses like the tails.... And how difficult a job is the swap?

Thnx

well, i did somethin different in putting HID lights in the fog spot, everything else (short of splicing a wire for a 9006 bulb, instead of the h11's that come as fogs in USDM), everything else is plug and play.

take your bulbs, ballasts from the stock ones. If not, and you don't want the LHD beam pattern, then just get the usdm ones blacked out (painted)
