Looks awesome. Did you have to do any fiberglass work to get things to look right? The bit of extra gap at the top where the new facia meets the hood by the headlights - what work did you do with that?

Took the crap bulbs out and replaced the high and low beams with these two kits from Amazon.com.

Kensun HID Xenon Conversion Kit "All Bulb Sizes and Colors" with Premium Ballasts - H1 - 6000k

I did the DRL mod to disable them connected both of the bulbs in the corners together so the are a bright turn signal then connected the R8 LEDs to a power source that is controlled by ignition on.

There was quite a bit of fiberglass work as you can see in the pics. My bodyshop guy charged me an additional $200 for the work, which Mark @ 6LEdesigns gladly reimbursed me for.

I went round and round with what kit to use or not one at all. I'm not a big fan of side skirts, you need them with that front end or the car looks all strange. I have to find a kit to widen the look of the rear now.
