i got some fog lights today for 20$ and they were yellow so i liked them alot i installed them today but didnt get to wire everything up but heres a pic of what they look like tell me what you guys think

 

imo looks out of place, not trying to hate, but you wanted our opinion

 

no hate taken thanks for the opinion tho i just wanted to see how they looked i kinda like them tho i just need to see how they look once i get them wired up

 

I woulda put them under the bumper lights, but thats just me....to each their own sir!

 

i was thinking that too but i didnt want to cut a huge whole into my brand new bumper so i drilled holes where nobody could really see if i decided to take them out

smart thinking

and im with da9 on where i would have placed em

 

if i had a 90-91 teg or the 90-91 front bumper thats the first place i would have put it but for the 92-93 teg i think its a pretty decent spot to put them

Not that I wouldn't want you to follow conformity or anything...but its for the sake of proper aesthetics, put them under the turn signal...provided you have a 90-91 bumper.

the fogs in the bumper seem like overkill to me. i still don't understand why people go for that; it doesn't look good. on a DA with stock headlights you would have: amber, clear, amber/clear, and yellow (10 lights total in the front of a stock DA) overkill anyone?

edit: 10 on a stock DA, 12 if it has fogs

agreed, its the same way with del sols and the jdm lower fogs, with the standard inner fogs (for 92-95 sols) its just a little overkill, except for the few that manage to pull it off

Holy run-on, dude; what did you say?

 

hey do any of you guys have extended top hats on your suspension? if you do, did you notice whether or not your car gets more body roll while turning after the install?

 

you DO know what the top hats do correct?

they just allow more travel in the struts. if the strut is seated an inch higher, it's not going to have a different damper rate than if it's seated an inch lower. they're not going to improve handling, rather just improve longetivity of your struts.

 

i know what they're meant to do. And i also know that if there is more distance for the strut to move, then the car will lean more on hard turns do to that fact. I was just asking for other peoples opinions and seeing why/if they liked their top hats.

 

i wanna know to because i wanna extend my top hats

 

sorry if i didnt make my post clear enough for you. But hopefully now you get what i mean

 

basically it gives your struts more distance to travel, i believe mine added 2 inches? so the ride isnt as stiff or bouncy and it DEFINENTLY improves the ride and comfort of your car

do you i got some cheap ebay ones their not the stock ones i bought new bulbs and same thing so im guessing its the light deflector thing

hey i seen that green DA at the china town showdown. you went?

 

no my lights are oem, but i just barely noticed that for some reason my car was lighting up the top of a tree i havent had a chance to check it out yet. Could be from when the body shop reinstalled them?

that green DA gives me hope for the future of my car. Just curious, where do you get the foglights for the 90-91 bumpers?

 

also does anyone know what lip is on the green da?

Its a copy or actual Buddy Club Lip. The real lip is very hard to find and expensive. You can have a nice copy from JKENO112... He's out here in So Cal. I know this cuz I just asked.

No, I just brought it over from one of the other DA gangsta pages. I was just showing how nice the fogs look on the 90-91's.

I have extended top hats, and I haven't experienced any such roll or un easy handling. If you look at the Torino Red DA, that's mine and that's how it sits.. now I only have front extended hats...I had them fab'd from the stock hats about 1" for both.
*** for anyone else thinking about extending their top hats. ***
If you get them done, don't go any further than that or else you will have hood clearance issues. I am experiencing the strut hitting the hood and I had to make a small dent to allow for movement of the strut. I don't think that I will have a need to buy rear extended top hats as the ride height you see is the lowest I go. I don't like slamming my DA as I don't ever want to damage the undercarriage or oil pan.

Check out this guy, MY_EFsedan, send him an IM, and he will get you in contact with the guy I went through. He does a very professional job and handles the order like a business. The quality of work he did on mine were top notch.
