Nice work artfulmini - I can't wait to see your Horizon Blue! It's my new favorite color, though I wouldn't say that outloud in front of my Pure Silver.

Rally, That Clubby looks sharp!

I'm guessing that it is not a daily driver.

I was leaving a local "Quickimart" this morning and, with a standard suspension, my air dam drug on he road. With your suspension, I would have reformed the whole front end.

They are made by Nokya. Like Lurch said...they really are amazing. So much output, and the yellow light is much better for foggy conditions (not to mention really cool looking)

It is indeed my daily driver...and I lowered it another 3 inches on Friday. I just have a custom suspension that allows me to raise it when I need to get over bumps and I tend to take steep driveways and speedbumps very slowly.

Where abouts are you on the Jersey shore? I'm about to move back onto LBI in a few weeks. That's actually why I put on the roof racks...time to get ready for surfing again

It's your daily driver? I'm impressed!
I do most of my driving between 11 PM and 8 AM. I would need to have an automatic,fast acting, radar controlled suspension to not be ripping off parts as I motored around. Even entering my driveway, in first gear and at a 45 degree angle, I manage to rub the air dam most mornings. (It is rather steep) And I look like a slalom driver trying to avoid pot holes as the appear out of the darkness.

I reside in Neptune (Shark River Hills). I'll have to look for your HC/B Clubman as I motor. (when there's enough light to see)

Now I understand. (Mental head slap for not noticing the bulb color) I might have to look into those.

Thanks! Do you have a clue where I can buy them perhaps? Online or .. ?

Edit: http://www.amazon.com/Nokya-Arctic-Y.../dp/B0013J9QWA ??

JBcola, very nice pictures! Your car looks the part, very nice what you've done to it. I hope you have a good time next weekend in Silverstone!

A bit cheaper here by the time you factor in the shipping. Thanks for the tip on these, gentlemen.

I bought a pair on eBay, the shipping costs on Amazon were outrageous
