i got the injectors from a friend for free 8 of them actually... already lost one haha... Anyways yea also having hids is the greatest! I can now see the world. But the only problem is that the hids are in the headlight buckets so there is a bit of glare as u can see in the picture agasint my garage. But the hella foglights make a difference also, they are focused to compensate for hids in the middle

lots of hours sanding to get it smoth. then lots of time with a buffer wheel and lots of pollish. but its worth it. the inside is also done on his intake and the inside of the turbo.
