Because it looks good?

With my hood, they aren't visibly full rings. It is still a different look, and they replace my city lights from the old healights.

Looks good, although I am definently not feeling the headlights. I just don't get what's so cool about angel eyes. For the same price why not retrofit in some HIDs

retrofitting HIDs would be 2-3x the amount I paid for these headlights. As it is, these ecode projectors are way better than factory.
I also think that the lights look better in person than in the pictures.

The spacers were interesting, but oh well. I usually give a company a second chance, since I went with a totally different type of product.

The front isn't a sticker. It is a spray painted stencil. The hood isn't done. It was a weld on extension. It needs to be sanded, filled, sanded, reprimed, and painted to match the car. The bare metal was starting to get a little bit of rust, so I sanded and sprayed it.

i would have just gone with a sticker on the headlight instead of welding extensions to the hood.

its like a black persons hair now.

The eyelids look retarded.
when this is done, it will look like one seemless piece. Also, the extension brings the front of the hood about 2.5'' farther down, as well as getting rid of the hood notch.

I have no idea why people drive around so long with fuck'n non standard non painted shit on their car. It looks so extremely tacky and you nigs never really get around to finishing it.

So like, spend all this time and money to do a half assed job on something thats supposed to be a cosmetic upgrade in the first place?

Riiiight.

if that peice is 'supposed' to be welded onto the hood, and its currently 'in progress' then whats 'holding it on' at the moment? just curious.

It has already been welded on.
It needs to be smoothed, filled, sanded, and painted.

i think it all looks good except for the hood thing. i thought it was a bra at first. i guess it'll look better once it's finished.

what's going on with the maxima? did you ever get injectors back in it?

Yeah, the injectors are back in. It ran again.
Then the fuel pump died. It runs on carb cleaner great.

It will look like this when it's done.

actually, it isn't.
It still stops heat soak.

I dyno'd the car previously and the first run was 153 hp and the second was 133 hp.

^winnAr. a fmic helps out a lot with efficiently putting out the power you've got, not just gaining more power. 20whp is a pretty damn big difference when you're talking about numbers that low.
