First Big Purchase
 
well i have officially bought all the HID's and LED's that i'll need to make ALL lights 6000k color temp for my 8 including lisence plate and interior (excluding break lights). Also bought Borla exhaust, AEM intake, and the smoked LED 3rd breaklight from zomkspeed on ebay. For a grand total of $1,419. wow... what an amount for one weekends spending. I got the best HID's and LED's I could find. I know it's alot of money considering it does almost nothing for the car besides look and sound but i'll post before and after pics as soon as the deed is done. I think it's safe to say that customizing is addicting :P i'm done with appearance for my car, now moving onto performance.

Here's the break down.

AEM CAI – Ebay (Carparts) ----------------------------------------- $276

Fog Light Bulbs –Ebay (Kaizenmotor) ----------------------------- $45

Fog Light Kit – Ebay (azpartsexpressonline) --------------------- $89

LED’s Markers, Blinkers – Autolumination ------------------------- $79

All Other LED’S/HID’s – V-LED’s ------------------------------------ $122

Full Borla cat-back System - 21st Century Exhaus-------------- $758

Custom LED 3rd Brake Light – Ebay (zomkspeed) --------------- $50

Total = $1,419

All prices include shipping and handling, tax etc.
If you want a more detailed list, part numbers, brands etc. i can try to make one up if you want.

Get those HIDs on and lets see some pics !! Are they the 5k or 6k ones?

Could have saved a few bucks buying the cat-back and intake used. Use the savings for an AFE SS.

essmac13 02-07-2010 11:57 PM

everything is 6k. and i prefer new. i'll still get AFE ss

If it's not too much trouble it would be pretty awesome of you to put in like a mini-spreadsheet of what part numbers you ordered and bulb sizes, that kind of thing.
