DIY Headlight Eyelids and 55W 8000K HID/ Tinted Tails/DDM Scoop

Just thought I'd share pics of my plastidip eyelids and ddm tuning 55W 8000K HID Kit. I personally think that the eyelids help cut down on the glare from the hid kit and give it a cleaner cutoff. There is still some glare but not as much if the eyelids were not in place.
The tint for the tail lights was purchased from sticker city and I installed by me.
The process is definately not hard but just takes patience.
Last but not least, is the DDM scoop i purchased recently.
Imporved throttle response is definately noticeable when moving.
And my butt dyno tells me that this along with my diy intake, diy intercooler sprayer, and the muffler/res/2nd cat delete makes my car pull alot harder


And finally pictures





(If you look really close you can see the plumbing for my diy intercooler sprayer )

Fine and dandy but you need to get rid of that big wheel gap!
