I reckon it looks great, the new lights really update the car without making the car look cheap.

I like the front bar, and as mentioned the front bar doesn't seem to flow with the skirts, but like you said it could be the angle. I also don't like the see through to the floor thing.

I do not however like the mesh in the grille and if it were my car I wouldn't put any at all.

Overall its a good look as is, but if you were to get some fog lights, undertrays, and a grille to fill in the gaps and finish it off it'd look much better in my opinion. I just read somewhere up there that someone has the exact same opinion regarding the add-ons.

i was gonna leave it without mesh but you could see straight through and it looked kinda crappy.. mesh will do for now till i get something more permanent..

the vertex is almost like a 97 bar just a bit more sporty.
i dont know how Mike comes to the conclusion that this would make the car less desirable?

Just gotta make sure they're not LHD lights if you're getting them from ebay US. Otherwise they'll blind everyone coming the other direction.

I've seen this car in the flesh and it looks awesome. Daniel disregard Mike's comments, as he is just a wanker :-)

Good to see someone take pride in their stuff.

Daniel asked the seller on ebay last week if they still have them full sets but they don't at the moment only the high beams are listed. Did you get them off ebay australia? How much did they cost you? I think the seller is called options or something.

they supply parker, high beam and headlight (non HID) i bought new HID's because the ones from the old lights dont fit the hole for the new lights so if your using HID's now you will most likely have to buy new ones that fit. The indicators im pretty sure just swap straight over but like i said previously i didnt install these myself an auto electrician / spoiler shop did.

Guys speak to Costa. I bought a complete RHD set of main and high beams from him a while back for pretty cheap. He might still be doing it

As for the original topic, I think the headlights match the colour of the car well. I don't think the sideskirts flow with the front bar though. It appears that the front is much lower than the sides and it looks kinda strange to me.

Hmmmmm, I've seen much, much worse actually. Pictures show the car better.

I guess I would just frown, not be sick after all.

OH! Update: I see your message on the ground, Fcuk Mike, that is funny - I'm glad I put that much of an impression down on this forum you took the time to do that, and take a picture.
