Thanks,Ryan.I was thinking about it,I just haven't yet.Yeah we definetly need to set something up once you get your wheels on.

It crossed my mind about getting retro,I just don't know if I can put out a grand for headlights

Nice!! wanted to know how a FBP would look with a rim like that. Did you get that blue ring custom painted on there or can you buy the wheel like that? Do you mind posting up a link from where you got these wheels? Thanks!

Well think about it will. In the end u have to sell ur stock headlights. Not only that u already have a pnp hid system. All u would need to buy is d2s bulbs and adapters so u can use so u can use the ballasts and harness u already have. Not to mention 1 hundred times better visability at night

It was basically a deal the site had going on.They had some Gram Light 57F that they were trying to sell so they hooked up with some local shop and offered Time Attack editions or any color the customer wanted for an addition couple hundred bucks.So basically they did both the black rim and the blue lip.
I don't see them up on their website anymore but I got them from GruppeS

Wouldn't I have to buy a spare set for them to do the retro on?

Yeah I figured it wouldn't be too hard cause I did my RSX a few times when I had it and that was fairly easy.Thanks for the offer.Maybe I'll scrap together some money and get a set.And yeah I saw that but I think I'd have to send them like $75 by the 15th then send them my headlights by the end of Aug.

Its pretty much just like everyone else said the throws are if not equal to,then slightly shorter the comptech adapter but at the same time its alot more precise and crisp then the adapter.I 've heard a couple of comparisons to the S2K but I've never driven one so I wouldn't know.

What is the offset for the wheels? Decided to use spacers instead of lowering the positive offset? BTW, your ride is beautiful.
