Cat eye halos
Well they looked like the latest and greatest thing so I figured WTF. Let me tell you something..............piece of ****. Dont fit right, arent nearly as bright as I expected and that ******* weather stripping was falling off the minute I took it out of the box. Anyone else had experience with these? I am thinking of bashing them with a bat, burning, and then mailing back to sender.

If so, shame on you for buying those ugly things in the first place

The projector ones with dual halos off ebay?
Yeah, I posted up some comments about them a while ago when I installed them.
They fit like ****, total crap material, not worth the hassle, angle straight towards the ground, fit like ****, fit like ****...and fit like ****.
I'm in the process of trying to find a screw to hold the stupid *** H3 bulb in place since the stock one stripped out the first time I tried to put the HIDs in.
Then I will be selling them and just accept my losses.

Matt, she blowed up. There are a coupe of points of contention as to exactly why. I feel like it was very bad setup on the machine shops part and then a compounding problem with the pcv waste getting back into the engine. #7 piston ring land sploded and ALL the other cylinders were only at 70% seal. I have a more reputable guy building me one as we speak. Actually going to drop the rings off in the morning and should have it back by next Friday.

I have been happy with mine. They fit fine. Have you tried this.

Great info brother, I appreciate that. You described my scenario to the T. Gap between the bumper, toward the ground, etc. I have the car apart right now, but I will go ahead and take a look tomorrow and see how much that helps by the look of it.

Goober, I thought you got that trans a while back. Your current one must have been slipping for 6 months at this point. All should be well this time around. Its a forged piston/rod with a polished LS6 crank and all the other hardware the last one had. Hell, the blown up one made 445/405 hurt. Get that tranny and shoot me a pm, we can grab lunch one day and catch up.
