Default Long time no post

Just wanted to let everyone know that I still have the car and have been adding changing things out over the last few years. I used to post all of the time, but had a new baby girl, so I have been busy with her. Looking to post more often. I also purchased a new Aprilia RSV 1000 as new toy and have been spending some time with that on nice days as well. Here are some of my most recent pictures.

Other than the yellow on the headlights, your car looks BADASS, but I'm nitpicking.

For the purpose of decreasing light output and making it look dumb? Don't get me wrong, I love the rest of the car, I just think that things like that should be left to the civic modders.

Actually, I have installed factory Xenons and with the car being so low to the ground, when I am driving fast at night, the lights have a ghosting effect. It is very hard on the eyes. I got the idea watching LeMans racing and noticed that every car racing had them. With the overlays I dont get any ghosting and can see much clearer at night. It also helps against tunnel vision. Sounds stupid but it is very functional. Thank you for all of the nice words.

Have you adjusted your headlights when the car was lowered? Well, at least it has a purpose, I guess. I mean, I would buy HID's to see that pretty blueish light, not yellow, but if it works for you, that's cool.

i think your car looks great. i like yellow headlights on certain cars, and yours is one of them.

also, why for your track setup do you run such skinny wheels in the front?

Or you could just wear yellow tinted glasses when you drive at night. Juuuuust a suggestion.

Hah, good point. That would probably be a MUCH better way to control the lighting and not have yellow hid's. Cheaper, too. They make glasses specifically for that, I even have a pair, cost 10 dollars, and they take away all the glare at night from oncoming cars.
