Damn... Biske, those looking good! You going with an E55 besel or are you gunna make one? I think the E46s are really hard to find, but I gave up on them. Glad to see you got some use out of the projectors though (even if it was only to light up your living room).

ive got a 3" pvc cap that i cut open and then i found a stainless steel cup at walmart that will make for a nice ring around the projector that i took off the lid of the cup. Ill have to get a pic of it up to show ya. Im currently working on the shroud to cover up everything, its a little tricky since im using a stove top burner dish so its nice and curved inward instead of a flat piece to cover it off.

When you get done with those Biske, let me know when your lease is up... I will buy them back from ya

Lightning, the certs can be quick.. depends on 2 things, the amount of boost and the driver. It's not that uncommon for them to switch out the turbo for something a little bigger and put down some serious boost. Seen a few crack 700whp.

I have a SS Sedan in Ultra. I have a K&N intake with a Flowmaster exhaust installed. I am looking at installing vented and drilled rotors when I do my 1st brake job. I am also looking at a spring/shock kit.

Whenever I can get my friend to call me. He must be out of town for spring break, and he won't answer his damn phone.
