Also, I need brighter lights so I noticed that you may have some 10k HIDS or something? Can you share with me where you got them and did you have to add ballast? And finally, did you do it yourself if so was it simple?

Thank you,
Thanks and The gauge is a C2 electric gauge and it was awesome...my buddy used to work at autometer and got me it super cheap.(actually autometer is about 10 minutes from my house I should go rob the place haha) I loved that gauge though. With the v i think i would go with the cobalt series though ..it would match the stock gauges better i think. And for the lights... the Low beams are just a bulb replacment. D1s is the bulb number.... Honestly Just go to ebay and find a good seller and same for the fogs but you will need an hid conversion kit for those.... either 9005 or 9145 will work and you will have to mount the ballast somewhere. Most people mount them on top of the fog bracket. "Jon" has made a great tutorial for the whole process of removing the bumper for the low beams http://www.jon04ctsv.com/bumper_removal/

any questions let me know

oh and the corner lights are 194's and i got the smt towers from this site

the headlights and fogs with the painted lights is not too bad at night and I am sure once I get the 10k low beams it will be perfect. The tailights, as you know, are very bright from the factory and are still bright even with the paint and during the day.

MightyM- I agree with you and have considered lowering it but now I actually like the rake and with four people in the car it sits very low plus I have large 20" wheels and tires on the back that may rub when I go to some 315 DR's. Plus, the car has 400 lbs of torque to the rear now with the heads and cam and will have close to 600 on the spray so I need the room for the power; the rear is going to drop big time when I hit it and I dont want any rubbing at all. I am not going to mess with the rear anymore until I get the 9" put in.
