The only thing about the V3 is that is it low and long. Makes for DDing or just getting around more difficult on a lowered vehicle.

I'm not sure how the V3 would look with the DE headlights. I kind of think the v3 is getting used a lot I might take another direction, but when you like and wanna try something, you just gotta do it!

Yeah you're right on all accounts. But I'm no longer DDing the car and I'm not that low (~1" drop). Headlight upgrade is in the future, just a matter of when. I will probably do the sides and rear diffuser then see what I think.

I installed new wheels! I've been wanting to do this for quite some time now, so it's very exciting.

This car is sex. Gives me a new appreciation for the color. Are those wheels reps? If so what kind?

Restored my headlights! (They were only a little yellow & hazy but WOW this made a huuuuuge difference) I took my time and did a thorough sanding job and it is 100% crystal clear now.

Apologies for the poor cell phone pictures (it was really a mid-job thought).

After sanding:



After polishing:

They look great club! I remember when I did mine, I wet sanded with a really fine grit. Polished then did a clear coat using spar urethane and they have not yellowed one bit. It was worth it 100%.

What protectant did you use?

Thanks! I didn't have any clear coat around, so after i polished them I just did a coat of wax (Zymol) to hopefully keep them nice and clear for awhile. Sadly, I didn't uninstall mine to get the edges, but i did the best I could with the wet sanding.

That looks awesome! PS: Love your carbon fiber hood & silverstone, that's a glorious color combo. <3
