I dont understand.. why people get made when someone has HID's in a regular bulb headlight assembly. Do you guys with projectors understand that every little bump your headlights feel aim your headlights a tad bit higher? I hate people with Hid's and Projectors because of how bright it is. I have dark tint and some of your lights still make me squint while i drive.

He means having bought a projector kit and phyiscally taken apart the stock lights to install it. They give you alot more light output and keep the light focused so it doesnt blind other drivers. But not everyone has the time or resources to do that. I know that id get merced if my girl came home to me baking my headlights to get em apart so i could do a retrofit.

Some hids do that to me too but mine are 10,000 k and are dark blue so no hurtin eyes here lol

so took the throttle body off and it took like 2 hours just to get it off and im glad I did cause it needed some attention lol

this is just the intake manifold... the back of the throttle plate was worse

its a bad ass school in houston texas that teaches you how to make some bad ass race motors... im gonna try to take the block course... they are highly recoqnized in the racing world and there grads go to top racing teams and enging shops... the students worked with the horse power shop from powerblock tv and made a bad ass chevy LSX stroker that they dropped in a '99 camaro and took it to an event called the Texas MIle and on the second pass went around 204 mph
