I'm hoping to put them back together in the next few weeks. Depends now on the halo exchange.

Let me try to mock them up and get a pick for you this weekend. I should be able to get them together enough to give you a good idea how it's going to look. I don't think you'll see much of the red unless you're really looking for it. That ring is pretty deep in the projector cover. That's what I'm hoping for anyway! I want it to kind of peak through like the brake rotor does through the wheels

Little mock up of the red ring for ya




Just a teaser! I promise I'll get some better pics when done. I'm going send my XBs back for exchange and still have a little fabrication to do on the diffusers. So it may be a little bit yet.

You should! I think it turned out great! I'm trying to figure out how to incorporate a little red on the flasher light as well.

Unfortunately,

I don't think I'm going to be able to exchange my XB's. But, I've got something else up my sleeve and maybe that won't matter to get the white ones. Anyway, I didn't want to leave you guys hanging so I took a couple more pics this weekend while I was putting them back together after the demon lights install. Oh....I ended up changing the way I did those too. Ended up putting LED strip lights in. No cutting, no drilling, just a little 3m double sided tape and some 5 minute epoxy to make sure they stay put.

There's some good shots of the red ring in here too for ya. Without the lens on so you can see it without the glare.

oH!!!....and pleas excuse the work bench!

well.....


looks like my front bumper has to come off again! Really didn't want to do it just yet. Z1 sent me the wrong oil lines for my oil cooler. They asked me to take pictures so I took the car back apart and took pictures of all the lines and how I had to loop the one line all the way down to the steering cooler to take out the slack because it was way too long. Aparantly thaty wasn't good enough for them. They just emailed me and asked that I take the car apart again and take pictures measuring the lines. So not only do I have to take the car a part and let it sit while I wait for them to resolve this, I have to take off the line that actually fit!!!!! Not to mention this has taken 3 weeks of emails and them not responding to me. If it had gone any longer I would've just called. But, they've really done a nice job of pissing me off. My $1500 order with them wasn't good enough for good customer service I guess!!!! REALLY dissapointed in them right now!!

so soon into my build too...shame!

Here's the latest. They got back to me and are now saying I routed the lines "too high" on the radiator shroud and that's why my lines aren't fitting right.

Let's think about this!..........
I have one line waaaaay to long. Long enough to loop all the way down to the steering cooler to pull out all the slack. If i mounted them too high, wouldn't that take out slack on the line!!!!!! duh! I just said I had too much slack!

I was looking at there insalation photo and how they showed the lines run in front of the CAI. I could never do that with my lines. The other line is too short to pull that off. Which leads me to believe they sent me the wrong line kit all together.

So after all the that, they said running it the way it is won't hurt anything!!!
