I'm so excited.....

I'm so excited.....

Well my rampage of parts for my baby begins with:

8000k HID kit (Thanks Laz Z Kay)
Red/White Tailights (Thanks Phoz)
Gauge Cluster with tach that nearly matches my current mileage so i don't have to deal with switching odometers and crap.
ELP CAI (Thanks 05WRX)

On my next check I'll get:

OEM Brembo slotted rotors
TRD Exhaust
TOMS lip kit

and then on my other big check at the beginning of Sept I'll get:

Alarm
Tint
Fog lights


I'm soo excited man, can't wait for these parts to get in so I can eventually take some pics of my car with some add ons and stuff, I'll post pics when all the parts are installed

Going to see it in person is going to be even better

Congrats.

Congrats, D...
take some pictures in stages...so you'll have pictures of the progress....

Thanks guys and well just logged into 9thgencorolla.com and it seems like I'll maybe downgrade my HID kit if possible to a 6000k because some guy came in with some convincing charts and told me that 8000k is more or a purple instead of a blue and that the higher the number the less lighting it gets and well I guess 8000 is way over the top actually so I'll see if he let's me downgrade cause I don't want purple lights NO WAY lol........ and well after my last check that goes to the Alarm, tint and fogs then the rest of the checks go to my bank account to get a turbo kit for the car.

why wouldn't you want purple lights??

heh

okay I need ur guys input on this cause this is almost 500 bucks I'm talking about for this kit so yea I don't want it to be a waste so here are the charts the dood posted up.... to me it seems like it's in the level of color blue I want but I dk INPUT PLZ!!!!!

Just to let you know OEM HID's are around 4300K's and that is the most usable light output. Anything after that it decreases your useable light. When you see OEM cars with HID's and you see that purplish/bluish light it has to do with the projectors and how they refract the light output at different angles, not the color of the light.

You probably know this, and maybe even have projectors already, but HID's without projectors can be a nuisance.

here's some pics of a 6000k HID kit:





In these two pics is the EXACT blue I want to get out of the color but then they said that the lens of the camera can alter the light ouput color when taking pics so for all I know it can be white but it shows blue on the pic u kno lol man I'm confused

congrats...and where teh pics of ur car?

congratulations! My friend has 3200K on his impala, yes you read correct and those suckers are super bright as hell.

Yea that's the one I'm buying lol the 8000k I wanted is 465 bucks with the Hi/lo option but I think I'm going with a 6000k instead with the Hi/Lo option

i'm with E on that one....

okay given this case I think it's time to add a poll to this thread

and here are some pics of the TOMS kit I'm getting... tell me what u think peepz....

Forget the bike! Get the turbo!
I always like the side and the rear of TOMS kit, but not the front.

Good point E BUT here is my problem.... I live in Colorado so IF I get a bike it'll be parked in my garage for like 1/2 year so why pay for something that I'll have parked for 6 months? hell if I lived in FL or something hell I would say screw my car and get a bike hell even screw the damn bike and the car and get a Supra shit lol...... I dk it's a tough choice

Also here's pics of the gauge cluster I got which is only like 800 miles from matching my current mileage

i voted fo neutral, cuz i dont care lol. tis ur car, do whatever. just dont let me catch you puttin on neons and chrome hubcabs :laugh1:

hmm no I'll pass on the chrome ghetto shit and neon rice shit lol and well e mostly I want the bike cause gas prices are killing me with a big K and well maybe sometime down the road cause I'm planning on moving with my sister to Fort Lauderdale cause she offered me that option just now..... so I might end up doing that next summer.

you wont have the pleasure drivin in a car tho. stick wit ur corolla.

I'm sticking with my corolla, I'm not selling it even if I do get a bike man SCREW THAT lol the only way I'd sell this car is if I get an XRS

get a Honda, those cars are badass ...

hahahahahahahahahahha NO

you're just jealous cuz you aint got no damn VTEC J00!!

lol good try but FOOK VTEC plus VTEC is overrated

your Corolla has no VTEC
