Hey Guys, so I have a request.
IF you have nothing better to do and want to see some pictures of cool cars, you should vote for me in the PasswordJDM Money shot Photo contest.
If for no other reason then to vote for another HID retrofit cluber. But I would rather it be because you like my pics.

http://www.passwordjdm.com/Moneyshot/#40
anyway vote here. My name is Thayne Christiansen and I have the 96 Del sol.
Car looks like this.



EDIT: looks like the public voting wont start til the 15th. I will remind you around then.

My setup is up for sale:
94-97 DC lamps
TSX clear lens projectors

I will include 2 working Phillips 4300K bulbs.
$375 shipped
Absolutely nothing wrong with this setup. I'm selling my car, so it came off.

I'll be posting a FS thread soon with pics. Just wanted to give you Retrofit heads first dibs.
