hey mate they are relatively easy to install, just simply plug out plug in. You will need to remove your bumper to do it easily. It is possible to do it with the bumper on but the rooting around squeezing and twisting your arm wouldnt be worth it. Got to make life easier for you!Quote:

did anyone else encounter this?
Tony, your car is looking very hot indeed, can't wait to see it painted and ready to go ;)
Hehe thanks mate!! No where as nice as yours :P...and yes PU is pretty awesome stuff! It fits on so nicely lolQuote:

Hehe thanks mate, I still need to buy the kit...running a tad bit short on cash coz I just bought a Flash gun for my DSLR and the HIDs for my fog lights (to come :P).
how much?Quote:

pearl white is the best :)
just got my K+N filter in, I do feel the acceleration is bit better/smoother, well worth the money.
Wow the mugen add on is stunning!! *tempted*
Its just the painting cost that is setting me back...
+1 hehehe...Is your Euro AT? I've been considering investing in an K&N filter for quite some time now...just not sure if it will make the car "less" fuel economic haha.Quote:

On a side note guys, I've decided to go take my car to get fixed (rear bumper damages) as I got hit for the 3rd time (most serious) 2 nights ago :(. Didn't see who did it coz it was at the car park again but lucky they didn't dent my bumper, just loss of paint. Going to a touch up/buffing specialist tomorrow, from the pictures the guy said it'll cost me about $60-80 :D...pretty reasonable if you ask me hehe
Do they sell just the rear lip spoiler for the bootlid?
$150 I believe. :)Quote:

So $200 all up (still way cheaper than the Genuine's RRP - about $360 unfitted/$510 Fitted). And it's it's pretty much an exact replica of the Genuine one from what I saw :PQuote:

Not sure how much it is to paint it somewhere else, it was $100 (painted and fitted I think) for nesterjester at AJs Performance on Moss StreetQuote:

Hehe I'm using LED Parkers and my rear number plate is using a white T10 as well (looks better than stock :P)...I installed a 9 or 12 (I think) LED as an interior light in my other car. It's bright as haha :PQuote:

oh nice paul got the mugen kit in...before my kit has arrived...totally regretting going the cheap way now. lolz
in other news, some douchebag stole my valve caps on the left side of my car in a secure car park. sigh. so annoyed. wierdly enough, no air seems to be coming out after 2 weeks. tested it at the gas station and tyres were fine. Still, anyone know where i can get replacement ones? i can easily just steal them off another car, but i dont want to stoop that low
When will you get the Mugen kit?! It's been ages :(Quote:

More info/pics found here [CAUTION - Many HQ PHOTOS]!
Guys, I bought 2 of the K&N filters for the CU2 from the states to make it cheaper because the shipping was quite expensive.
I have one left, and I'm happy to let it go for the cost price, no profit.
It made a difference in my car with slightly more power/better fuel economy and better noise.
It's AU$70, I'm in parramatta NSW or can post for cost price anywhere in oz.
show off! Hahaha jks mate :) Looks sweeet!!!Quote:

LED angel eyes are definitely ricey.Quote:

That LED angel eyes turn signal looks good. but not the ring though... a bit BMW wannabe I think...
Yeppp what he says...angel eyes should really stay with BMW omw haha...just like those "under headlight" LEDs...they should really stay with Audi hahaQuote:

The HID's my supplier installed for me are called Ignis Xenon HID's, they are awesome :D
Hehe that's how I roll man :P oh and unlucky on the DSLR loss :( Lol my HIDs are also way brighter than my high beams haha. MR_LATE has HIDs for both low and high...that would be an entire different story :P. Are your parkers single LEDs or a pole/multiple LED bulb? (from ebay?) hahaQuote:

Though i would prefer blue ones.Quote:

haha!
Ah I see. They're pretty bright for single LED! I'm planning to get this one. They sell it in blue too!!Quote:

If only life was that easy haha, I wish he'd give me the kit for free lol! I might start a new thread across the forums promoting the kit :)
tony those were the leds i was thinking about getting too! they should light up good
on another note do you know if switchbacks are possible on our cu2?
for those who dont know what im talking about heres a vid;
http://s71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...t=MOV09343.mp4
Yup, definitely! My mate has them on his DC5R and he said they're pretty damn bright haha (though I haven't seen it for my self)Quote:
Originally Posted by nesterjester

yea i think they might have a different set up in america, this guys on acurazine his tsx looks pretty mean with switchbacksQuote:

indeed tony, if only life WAS that easy. I'm beginning to save up for the kit as we speak! I'll let you know when i have enough dosh, if i do get through to you, for the kit, what can you set me up with? Maybe a Discount? *crosses fingers*Quote:

I would say 6000k is most common, as not many ebay sellers sell 5000k (from what I could find). Different HID kits may variate, coz when I put mine next to (I think) albii's, his seems more "pure" white than mine, and we're both using 6000kQuote:

I saw some on ebay but cant tell how true the colors are...
Thanks Kwang, yeah 6000k on my CX7, so I might go for 5000k, I love the looks of stock HID on CU2, how is our local seller on ozhonda, I think he is selling those kits from korea, or can anyone recommend any seller on ebay? btw, my foggies are "IN" woohoo!!! those yanking finally paid off lol
no matter how many pics you see on the PC it will not match the true colors.Quote:

Just remember though, any color higher than 5000k starts to lose "brightness".
Oh yea congrats on the foggies!!
Might follow your lead and get dome reverse sensors! Haha
No worries mate, I tried to look for 5000k sellers on ebay, and there are barely any that sell 5000k for a reasonable/cheap price. Cheapest one I found is this one here. I paid $54 for my H11 kit, only took a week to arrive to. Though I still need to test out nesterjester's ballast to figure out if it's my kit that's faulty or that I need a relay =(. Anyhoooo congrats on the foggies! How much did you pay for them, and for your reverse sensors?Quote:

and I paid $299 for the foggies,I think you got them cheapier.
That's one of the reason why I wanna get them too, it's a pain reverse parking such a big car (compared to my other Jazz) lol...Quote:
