looks good, personally the hid's burn way too hot... 12000k is just too pink, and cuts way down on the useable light spectrum. i would have gone no higher than 8000k...

Lalt1,every time I see your car it reminds me of my 95. It's one of the few cars I actually wish I would've kept. Same color and all. I'll try to scan some pics later and put them up, in a different thread of course.

Anyway love your car.
