Well, just got around to installing my EVO-R LED's yesterday. Was going to have someone else put them in because I didn't really like the idea of removing my front bumper and tapping into the light wiring, but considering the labor time it would take, it would have wound up being more expensive than the price of the LED's by far.

Thanks to Julian's How-To on the installation!! Made it much easier! Install time was about 3 1/2 hours total, but I was really taking my time with this......

Here are some pics:

WEll install looks like kind of a P.I.T.A., but the LED's look really cool, Even in daylight!

Only got around to taking just a couple of night shots. Too tired! I'll be posting some more tonight.

Pretty happy with how they came out. I thought the white LED's would better match the Xenon lights. I think they are rated at 10000 MCD's.

Nice work!!!!! They look great Track!!! I just ordered me some little goodies from Evo-R.net. Good guys!!! :biggrin:

Thanks! Yeah, I went nutty and ordered a CF airguide and rear strut bar cover from them too.

Here are a few pics of the airguide I installed after putting the bumper back on. Smooth as silk.

Engine bay looks really nice....time for hoses & clamps?...

 

[TrackZ03]

Thanks lionkiller!

Hoses and clamps are definitely next.

Here are a few night shots. My camera pretty much sucks at night (lack of open shutter control) so here is the best that I can do.

1st one has the xenons on, the rest are with the parking lights only. The white LED's look awesome at night. Just wish these picks would show it.

Thoughts?

I hate you....






cuz I'm jealous. Also, because you're planting more ideas into my head...:thumbsup:

Suggestion...

adding in some superwhite leds for the parking lights will even it out in the front giving you more of a white look instead of the factory dingy yellow.

That's a good idea. Probably wouldn't be too difficult to replace the stock parking lamps. I rarely drive with just the parking lights on anyway but it would look pretty cool.

Sorry for the ideas, Smooth I can send some more pics your way if you're needing some additional temptation.

It actually makes your HID's look whiter too. When I had the stock bulbs in, they would take away from the nice white light.

They're VERY easy to replace. Just pull back the plastic in the wheel well and do a half twist to get the bulb housing out. Pull the bulb...put the new one in...put the housing back...put the plastic back as-was in the wheel well and repeat on the other side.

i want to see some close up pics of the strut bar cover. i have been thinking about it, but it looks liek theres tiny gaps between the cover and the z in the center. post as many as you can! thanks looks great!

 

[TrackZ03]

Chris - here are some pics of the rear carbon fiber strut cover - Only gap around the Z emblem is about a 2 mm space directly above the Z. Fitment was good all the way around except the left side which I have to keep pressing down every once in a while. Seems that all of the 2 sided tape was closer to the middle and not enough on the outside which is why it raises a little bit on the outside.

Anyone have a good suggestion for correcting this other than taking off the cover and re-applying the 2 sided tape?

Other than that, I'm happy how it looks.

That cover looks awesome! I'm debating getting one in the near future. Boogiemyke, what kind of bulbs go in the parking lights and where can I get them. Track, those lights look great at night!

 

[Echo5]

Very nice, I've been looking at those

 

[TrackZ03]

Thanks guys. I highly recommend them!

 

[TOPLESSZ]

They look awesome! I wonder where I can get these at online or in So. Cal? :thumbsup: :locked: :bump:
