Is anyone looking for fenders? Fenders

Mixxer, the housings are glass. And I think you are right, you don't need the harness. I got them anyways...I guess I did overpay a little bit.

i would go with the 8000k HID set for the headlight. i also have 8000k for my foglight too. if you go anything over 8000k. it be really blue.

damn...i'm on top of the page again...

hey guys, he currently has his own tires on those rims,

Well I was gonna reuse the tires cuz I paid a lot for em when they were new, they're Hankook RS2 205 in the front 245 in the rear. You could have them for another $200 if you want. If not, that's fine too since I had planned on using them. There should be about 6 months of tread life left on them, and probably more if your car is non-turbo. They grip like crazy and it's hard to make them squeal in the canyons unless you cross the paint (but I don't push it 100% since it's too scary..)

is it worth another 200$ to take his tires? id rather get those s-drives if i can get them for cheap and last longer

xltinlx · 01-29-2009, 12:50 PM

i told you frankie is hacking!

Davis · 01-29-2009, 12:55 PM

honda_bar · 01-29-2009, 01:13 PM

i think you might be happier with new tires.

deucegirl03 · 01-29-2009, 01:17 PM

it never hurts to have a spare set, and he is asking for only $200...
idk i would prob just pick them up, why not?

Cjung · 01-29-2009, 02:39 PM

you should check up on how much thread there is and decide to buy it or not
but yea it never hurts to have another set thou

o6spdracer · 01-29-2009, 02:50 PM

Mixxer you have email.

honda_bar · 01-29-2009, 03:17 PM

Ji, are you sitll down for saturday night?

Mark_Dorman · 01-29-2009, 03:35 PM

^Yeah for Saturday. I'm pumped.

Hey Tin,
The S-Drives are gonna run you about $90 a pop. If it's worth $200 more for S-Drives I'd go with them. At least you know what you're getting and can have a warranty. Also you might get them cheaper if Abner's bro can hook it up!

xltinlx · 01-29-2009, 03:42 PM

yeah, ill just get the rims first

Mark_Dorman · 01-29-2009, 03:43 PM

Hey...If anyone is ordering LED's soon I order one too few of one of my LED's so let me know.

o6spdracer · 01-29-2009, 03:43 PM

Yeah I'm down. What time? Mark do you want to come by and pick up the trans and fluid? Christian, I'll bring the amp over for you too.

Mark_Dorman · 01-29-2009, 03:52 PM

Yeah...that'd work I think. I'm gonna borrow my roommates car so I can bring back Christians blue dash and take him and colin turbo lids.

o6spdracer · 01-29-2009, 06:09 PM

Hey Frankie, which HID kit did you go with? I think we would get pulled over for 8000k color temp here in OC. I have the 5500k in my GS (headlights and foglights) and 4Runner. They are pure white without any blue tint. I put 6000k in my brothers. They are not as bright and have a little blue tint to them. I got mine from Xenon Depot. Their HID kits are awesome (I've ordered 5) compared to some of the generic ones (I've bought and installed 2).

Is anyone else interested in getting the H4 kit? I think Frankie is right, no need for a High/Low kit.

the 8000k is almost like 6000k. still white..but, brighter. the 4 mr2 i install all use 8000k. as for mine. i use 6000k for the headlight and 8000k for my foglight. sorry...i don't have any more HID light set here anymore. so, i don't know the brand name of it. but, i use to have a few set and give them away. only if you guys ask for them early. i would of pass them out to you guys.

o6spdracer · 01-29-2009, 06:29 PM

Haha. You are such a generous guy! If you come across any more, let me know. I'll take a set off your hands!
