Towed it across the country! Arizona to Kansas. I'm a little sad I can't just take it out whenever I want like I could in Phoenix.

^^^^Who did the work? Were the new lenses OEM/aftermarket? The lighting difference is amazing.

Lightwerkz did the work. They are out of NJ.

My lenses had crazing so couldn't be buffed out (Florida sun car).

Found the lenses from a different thread. Basically a Chinese manufacturer but another member took the plunge and got his lenses and was happy. Figured it was safe so I did the same. PM me if you want the link.

Lightwerkz also did some internal upgrades that really made the stuff blast. Here is a link...

All in all it was well worth it. More than 3x as bright and now I am less worried when I do late night country road drives.

Took her out for a good thrashing

I'm loving the spacers and lowering springs if I do say so myself.

Oh and I forgot to mention the new Michelin Pilot Sport 4s tyres. A huge difference to the old Bridgestones. Grip, ride comfort, performance in the wet are all improved.

Thank you, I have Eibachs and 15mm spacers at the rear and 7mm at the front.

I would recommend 15mm all round as the fronts are not out flush but they do look better than before.
