Nice looking car man. I like it a lot! Can I ask you how you feel about the quality of the Breathless Performance headlight setup though? I love the way the car looks, I just want some more first hand oppinions.

Thanks,
Rob

Rob,

In all honesty...the BPP headlight conversion is HORRIBLE!! teh quality is up there with APC and Mecham stuff. At least the headlight mounts are nice...that is the only part..but how do you screw up aluminum squares lol. The plastic lenses that come with them are TERRIBLE and crack, dont seal, dont fit good just crappy! The plastic buckets are warkped, poorly made, poor fit, poor finish. I have done about $600 in work to the lights in addition of the over priced kit to begin with.

I love the look they provide and how clean they make the car...but I am not happy with them. The only reason I keep them is the diff look it gives the car. OTher people dont notice the things I do...I am very very very **** retentive and that is not good lol. Oh yeah..their customer service might as well be non existent. Its terrible too and they lie to you about things when calling. Their cust serv is right up there with Mecham also.

Sorry if I paint a bad pic ..but I have to be honest with people when they ask lol. So..moral of the story...if you have 2000 to spend on lights..GO for it! lol
