Dans T4R 2003 build thread. I can finally afford to do some upgrades.

Detailed photos of the new bumper.

Had the fog lights connected to a switch I can turn on or off, independent from the rest of the lights.

On my to do list;
Find a way to cover the gap between the grille and the bumper, either cutting and modifying the original bumper, or using some sort of black rubber to cover.

As well try to get the fillers for the headlights. (such a waste of money they are like 150 each.)

Under the hood.

New air intake really giving that little extra push to the new "extra pounds" from the new bumper.

The car definitely feels heavier with the bumper, and Im under the impression I lost 1/2 inch in the front. Im still getting use to how she drives, I feel kinda weird driving, its just a matter of getting use to. The guy who mounted the bumper suggested I do a new alignment to the wheels, is this really necessary??

I've been considering these same headlights... how have they been holding up? Any issues with leaks/condensation or issues with the HID's?

So far so good, honestly I couldn't be happier. The heavy winter in Montreal is punishing the car and so far the headlights and the HIDs are performing perfect.

No leaks or condensation, so far. The rubber and glue are brand new, gotta check in the long term.
