Not bad, and yeah, those headlights are ready to flow w/ the rest of your G.
Be sure to change to the STiR lens when you do, best $50 mod you can do.

I'm in a somewhat similar situation. I had a new set of fog rings professionally painted gloss black. And while it looks OK on the car, I actually think I'm liking the chrome rings better. But for this year at least, since I put the money and effort into it, I'm keeping the black rings.

i'm glad i'm not the only one.. blacked out rings go well for a blacked out front end.. but i like the chrome rings if there are other chrome aspects in the front..

mind you i hate shiny chrome but it just works..

If you DIY it you could get it done over a weekend depending on what your plans are for the whole setup that is and wouldn't need new lights
Here's the lens info and they also sell the proper butyl tape for resealing the light covers.

got side tracked by the spring mod. got in the rjm clutch pedal soo much happier with the RJM alternative.

installation wasn't that bad, took a lil over 2hrs. two complete turns from all the way right. got everything locked in and will see if i want to change the engagement.

i'm in love with the car again!

had an awesome drive into work!

the clutch is engaging and grabbing soo much stronger now.. the slip light was going off like crazy with my normal driving with the other pedal.

also was able to roll a lot slower in traffic without dipping the clutch, you could feel that its was biting and holding well .

Isn't it nice to be able to drive the car without that nagging uncertainty in the lower gears? The RJM pedal is a fantastic driving mod.

Most people tend to look at modifications in terms of Power or Handling. But there are driving mods, too, where you introduce changes in how you interact with the car. For 6MT owners, that includes the shifter and shift-****.

Well done, Toxic.

Dude it's so much better. All my DD have been stick, my previous car was a 06 6mt maxima and had the same crappy pedal. God it feels so nice to get back to a regular clutch pedal.

And I absolutely agree on the driving mod statement. The factory clutch pedal totally robs the fun of the vehicle and the other mods make it more fun to drive
