Big Reks Black Obsidian Sedan

So this will be the tale of my journey. Iv'e been long bit by the mod bug and have already ordered parts for her. It hasn't even been a month. Here she is stock:




I have a bunch of things lined up for her. All im doing now though is scouring the forums to find out which is best.

I have gotten her tinted with 20% Suntek all around. I have also done a full LED swap, and will be doing the HID, Turn Signal & Fog light bulbs soon. Underbody rust prevention has also been done.



Z1 Motorsports intake arrives tomorrow.



Intake was installed. Fairly easy process.



Sorry for the weird angle.

What are you planning for the new HID bulbs? The 2012+ G can be very picky about what bulbs you run.

Im not sure if we can post links to outside websites, but I was planning on going with HCX Phillips bulbs from HidConcept. For $80 you can't go wrong, and they have great reviews.

You can definitely post links here. Just so you're aware there's a decent chance those bulbs won't work. Our ballasts aren't happy with most aftermarket bulbs.

God damnit.
These are the bulbs:
D2S - HCX PHILIPS 5000K D2S HID BULBS 85122CM | HIDCONCEPT.COM

What options do I have if I want to go with 5k?

I'd be willing to bet those won't work in our cars. The Osram CBI bulbs are 6k, not sure of any that'll for sure work at 5k.
