That was a pretty sweet setup

Its not overkill if you sleep better at night.

But less than one or two serious speeding tickets and associated consequences!

I guess the alternative available to all of us is stay around the PSL.

Not.

did u just compare a vette to a honda? honda headlights are much smaller vette headlights go up in to the hood

X2!! I'm going to eventually go to HP's on the front as well. It's just a better felling knowing there is no way to ever get a reading.

I think its overkill. At some point, the diminishing marginal returns just don't make it worthwhile anymore. Its your $$ at the end of the day, and only you can decide how you want to spend it.

Not to mention, even with LJs, you're still vulnerable to I/O (which I can only now appreciate since getting LJs). Doesn't that suck? All this money spent on equipment and still we can't be fully protected....

^ That.

Although, there are too many variations in the grille of pics I see online to tell for sure what your mounting options are. You will definitely have to place them widely in the grille though, and not down lower.
