So you have no hobbies or any sources entertainment?

Or you simply can't comprehend the subjective nature of enjoyment with regard to a hobby?

no, I just never understood the obsession people have with spend large amounts of $ on a car and then spend more $ to bolt on all these accessories. ::shrug::

Its not my money, so I really don't care either way🙂


Currently I have no hobbies when I think about it. Spending time with my two year old son is my main souce of enjoyment. 🙂

Sorry the only Angel Eyes that belong on a car are the BMW 5 series.

so what if the modification is cosmetic? People throw out around the rice word way too much.
It looks nice, so what.

OP. Can you give me a good before pic to know that the difference is. Also...what is this mod for?

Because you are a woman.

I myself will never understand why my wife has so many handbags and shoes.

p.s. - what a waste of the 1001-st post.

Eh? A recent one?

There are a few bolts that are under the front bumper AFAIK, inaccessable w/o removing it.
 
My bumper is now in my living room, the headlights in the kitchen.... Time for step 3 🙂
 
So a slight update... Had a little trouble after i got one of the bulbs in, wouldnt light... Messed around with the wires, got it to light, but then it got so hot it melted the wire casing... Ended up using one of the halos i had for the other headlight...

Manuf. is sending me a new lamp, so i went ahead, sealed up the first finished one and remounted everything for the time being... When the new bulb arrives, off comes the bumper and finish the second one 😀

Anyway, here are some pics during the install;

I think it will look good :thumbsup:

For the record I don't think this is rice. Rice to me is excessive, this is an accent on his car. Also ... don't ricers think that their "work" gives them performance? Fartpipe/747 Wing etc. He is making no performance expectations, of ugly only a slight mod on an already good looking car.
