Jesus mother holy f*ck $1650 for the headlights. That's insane. But so is the rest of your car, so it makes sense. Cant wait to see this thing done.

Thanks! I'll be picking up another set of 350evo CF headlight buckets. More weight savings in the front end FTW!

Gotta pay to play unfortunately. Quality work doesn't come cheap, and cheap work is not quality.

For sure...on that note. Just picked up an ARC Differential Cooler to add to my ARC whoring. This was the main final piece I wanted. I am waiting for the AN fittings and misc parts prior to installing the unit. I can't wait to see how it looks with the Amuse Exhaust, Nismo Finned Diff, Hotckis Sway Bars, GT Spec rear tie brace all showing from the rear.

Thanks. The roll cage was built by L-con Race Cars. You can follow the entire build-up from scratch to completion here:

The build took place a while back, so i'm not sure how much something like that would cost these days. I'm sure in this struggling economy, they may work with you to just get some extra work in. Give them a call to get an idea on pricing and if you don't mind shipping your car. Their quality is top notch and when doing something like this like a crazy engine build, it's good to go to one of the best.

LOL @ the illegal busines jab. I know you're probably joking, but I just learned to address things as I see them. Apparently, I used to be sponsored by mommy and daddy at one point as well. I even sold my car at one point! Gotta love forum rumors.

Good question. I'm going to see how clearance is, but I will run a single if I have to full-time, which kind of sucks since I just picked up the amuse.

I know forum members are relentless at sharing provocative information, but I try to take it with a grain of salt.

Pretty much. I guess some people have uneventful lives.

Anything is possible. However, you're probably going to have to outbid the So Cal locals because i'd hate to have to ship that thing and see it get lost/damaged.
