Bill are you going to do a HID kit conversion for the headlights? Projectors maybe?...

Already have the HID'* for low beams and fog lights. .. Currently I'm "testing" the low beam HIDs in the current car. I'd like to do projectors..but they don't seem necessary in the Regal housing. Maybe if the parts happen to fall in my lap. Ya know.

I've heard the same. but haven't looked for them yet as I hear they are still pricey. Dunno, I'm sure I'll be doing something sooner or later. My plate is pretty full at the moment and I keep adding things.

So far i've prepped the calipers and brackets. Need R1 rotora and pads $$ cha ching
Prepped the overhead DIC/sunroof button/compass/homelink
Prepped the HUD
Prepped the subframe
Prepped the oil pan/pick up tube
Got a lot of suspension parts new
Got some maintenance items new

Prepping the turn signals
Prepping door lights
Prepping the puddle lamps

Thinking about stereo
Pretty sure it'* Boston Acoustic
