Not many updates lately, but here's one, Pegasus HID kit. I haven't bothered to wire in the angel eyes. I might do that a little later down the road.

Got rear ended on Friday. Fortunately there's not much damage, just a little scrape. Too bad the guy was a total fucktard, didn't even apologize, just kept trying to tell me that it's no big deal.

Stopped at a traffic light and I can only guess that it was too hard to concentrate on holding his foot on the brake while checking to see that the light was indeed still red at the same time.

They've been coached up the hoo-hah never to apologize as that admits fault (as if rear-ending someone isn't enough :roll: )

Make sure you check those support braces under the bumper cover, these types of light hits eventually end up sagging the bumper cover where it meets the quarter.

I'm going through this whole thread, Russ. Good work. Inspiring, I may get someone to do this for me when my engine eventually dies in a few years.

I have pretty low expectations for most Vancouver area drivers.

You should have seen it. Driving was obviously not his forte. That car had dents and scratches on every single panel.

I used to know someone here in the office on contract like that but w/ a Civic, a very young female technician. Her father was paying $5,300 a year for insurance, she was so bad at driving and kept dinging drivers. But he had deep pockets, he didn't care.

Some small mods. I put the jdm clears back in the front. I've had these for a while, and had them installed for a little bit a while ago too, but I never liked the look of the clear front with the orange marker light so I took them out until I came up with a solution for the side. Most people just put in the solid mouldings. I thought I'd be a little different and picked up these clear covers for JDM toblerones. I put some LED bulbs in the tolberones, and just have orange 1157's in front.

I'll pick up a couple of harnesses the next time I'm out at the junkyard and wire up the markers in the JDM clears. I want them to be the main marker lights and I'll wire them up to the halo's in the Pegasus lights. I'll then wire the regular signal in the front to the toblerone marker so that they both stay lit as markers, and flash as signals.
