do you have any pics of those headlights with the lights off?

Great work and nice color.

And Recaros too, hardly see those on this forum.

thanks alot for the kind words guys, i work on mostly race porsches with roll bars and recaros and big brakes and such so after doing that for so many years it just rubs off on me to do my own cars like that. the car is still a work in progress, getting the windows tinted this week, ordering a 4 point roll bar, just alot of small odds and ends. The car was really alot worse then seen in the pics here

So now the big question, why did i convert a rare car to a T-a.
Well shes a keeper, and i did save my formula bumpers, so if i ever really wanted to put the car back to a formula and paint it red again, i could, im not really worried about how rare the car is since i plan on keeping it anyway

I'm not positive, but I think he bought them from me. They were my old setup and worked really well. Glad to see they went to a good home.

If they are, it's a kaixen 6500k bi-xenon HID kit in hella 165mm free form housings.

i was wondering the same thing, i love the look of the WS6 LT1 T/A's (i put on the hood and airbox on my 95) but why change an ultra rare WS6 formula into a less rare T/A?

*edit* nevermind i see the answer above....

i have a suggestion for you.. given the silver theme of the car you should paint or powdercoat the intake the same color as the car, i think it would look badass...

here's how mine looks, and a pic of the car to show the black theme
