I like your headlights. It reminds me of the porsche rsr gt3s that race in the ALMS races. How did you get them like that?

That is just a protective film I bought off of a seller on ebay.

Here is a link to the seller, he sells them with or without headlight washers.

Very cool indeed. Do you have more pics available?
Thank you. They are actually the KR 210. I didn't polish the lip, apparently they no longer come with the polished lip.(I just checked their site)
More pictures of my car are posted here.

But I haven't been hassled yet. I think it would look very nice on an LY.

Well, another addition to consider!:smile:
How does affect your headlights at night? Do they still come out nice and blue until they heat up and then turn white?

Really doesn't dim them at all but they are more like halogen as far as the color of the beam goes. Still bright, but not bright white.

blacknblue - Do you have any full car shots with those rims on? Those look sweet.
mini_d - Any trouble with the popo on those light filters yet?

Thanks.
Here are a couple of pics, not exactly gallery quality though.
Ubiquitous Side View
Full Frontal
Hope these suffice.

Man those are hot. I thought I had settled on 16x7 Rota Slipstream's in black...but now, you might have someone else in SoCal with those... They'll be on a PS/B MCS with no stripes, though. Thanks for posting the pics.

I guess it is time to finally show my wheels. So far they are a one of a kind for the mini community.

wow, quite a bit of lip on those Evo's!
A lot of the G35 guys use those wheels on their non-brembo cars.

No trouble day or night, seen plenty of local police seems they haven't noticed, CHP makes me a little nervous though.
