After thinking about it a rwd sti is cool.....I just don't get the point lol. You can drift a sti easy with it being awd, if I wanted to drift i would go buy a 1999 mustang gt haha.


Cool car thought Vince, you have to take me for a ride when its done!

Any more pictures of how the retrofitted HID headlights from Lightwerkz look like? I am sure you are just hiding them from us.

Here are some pics.

I went with s2000 projectors and the CCFL rings...

I was on the fence about the CCFL rings, but am actually very glad I went with them, I think they look awesome... tho I'm sure others will call it rice or whatever
