All I can say about those panamera shrouds is WHOA! I'm jealous. IMO these are the best looking version of any light alteration. Just something about those simmetrical 4 dots of pure light that always get me straight thru my mod loving heart. Great choice Chris. Love the accents and the detail. Money well spent...and I'm sure you spent a bit. Congrats

Oh and the "filters cause I'm fancy" really cracked me up. They look damn good as well.

Thank you Red, I appreciate the kind words!

I have a buddy in NYC who is about to drop a gorgeous set of lights into the public eye. Should be interesting, he's done some really nice work and spec'd out something pretty special I think.

All the glare and reflection against the lens in those pictures aren't doing those beautifully customized housings justice in your on-the-car pictures.

Take some better pictures, Chris. Those headlights are amazing.

I will John, just a matter of having some time. I've been running nonstop lately. Tried to swap out my battery last night around 11 only to find the positive terminal damaged during shipping... In the airport now heading to Buffalo this week, I'm hoping to get the car detailed and photographed when I get back after I readjust the diffuser.

Orly? You know, Buffalo is only a little more than an hour West of Rochester, straight down Interstate 90.

John is correct Chris. Those lights deserve a little more attention from the lense.

I know, it's awfully close. I'm not sure I'll have time to head that way though. I'm doing tabletops in Buffalo Monday and Tuesday then heading North to validate a vendor and do another tabletop. I think I planned to do too much this trip...

You're not it kidding... I definitely could have gone to New Zealand this year with what I've spent.

Yeah but New Zealand will be there in a few years. Your G may not be. Gotta appreciate it while it lasts. I know I have a hard time sticking with a car longer than 5 years. Sooner or later you get bored and move on to the next project.

Upscale you are correct and I'm actually planning out the next one now. I think.... A lot depends on whether I switch jobs. If I do then I'll be looking at either a FD RX7 or importing a Skyline.

AroundTheG37 I'm on the fence. I have two sets of forged Rays I run now. I was thinking about swapping the around and going gunmetal on my summer set. I've been looking at some AGs with CF and neochrome but unless I commit to showing the car I'm leaning towards keeping the Rays. They're light and, I think, attractive. But mostly, I own them already.

I probably posted some of these pics in the chat thread and I'm gonna share at least one back in there (Yes John, I am a post *****) but it's still slowly evolving and taking shape.

Started some dialogue with the Japan Auction Parts guys. Which started some dialogue with the Tommykiara team and resulted in a custom run of purple turtles and grew to some other colors and turned into a Hebi Bebi group buy. Custom TK **** has been ordered
