What's up with the snarky comment? As a mod, I'd think you'd refrain.......

They are aimed too low, assuming you aren't facing uphill in the photo. You can see the cut-off line. I always aim my lights so that the line is parallel to the ground.

thanks for the info. That makes my mind up now... i have been debating on getting that IPL bumper and now i am. Looks very clean. Good looking car man.

FWIW, I prefer the Sport Coupe bumper. Not hating on the IPL, it's just that between the three front ends (IPL, Sport, Journey), I think the Sport bumper is the best. The lines draw the eye better, sweeping back out into the corners instead of continuing down to a point. Those protruding corners in the lower lip of the IPL bumper create an awkward gap, almost a ledge. That ledge creates the impression that the car is really high off the ground. And that chrome trim is somewhat gaudy, but chrome can be wrapped or painted.

It's all subjective, so whatever. I'm not in the Coupe forum that much... do people swap their bumpers between the IPL and Sport? Certainly the Journey bumper, that's no bueno, LOL. But the last version sport bumper is really appealing with IPL skirts.

As one who's had my night vision blown away by overly bright modded headlights, I had to say something. It's like Right On Red, think about it. Too many drivers don't.

My neighborhood is all hills and curve, I can't get good beam shots, not even in my driveway which is sloped. I had to drive to a loading dock behind a business and align them. The cutoff line is on my neighbor's sloped front yard. The cutoff on these lights terminates in front of my truck at about the same spot as my Q60, and due to the height of the truck that means the downward angle of the lights is slightly steeper than my low Q60. Also, the left cutoff step lines up with road center line perfectly.
Years ago when I first got my truck, I put a 9006 HID kit in it. I removed it the next day because of the glare, and ran halogens until I could get the time to properly retrofit.

Anyways, I take these things seriously, and I like those coupe headlights but I worry that the beam pattern and output would disappoint me. Just wish someone could do a side-by-side comparo. I would bet they are a downgrade in lighting quality.

i finally got my wheels. Jason at getyourwheels.com was great to work with. I was very nervous ordering wheels online and trusting someone to tell me what sizes and offsets would work, but he did great. The rear 275s fill up the space awesome. Glad i went with that size. Will work with him again. Car looks good. Just needs to be dropped alittle more. Coilovers are next.

saywat?

^whats the specs? did you not something a little more wider or lower offset maybe with some concave action?

Eldredge253

19x8.5 front 19x9.5 rear. Deep concave in rear and semi in front

saywat?

iTrader: (3)

yikes very conservative . most people do 9.5 front and 10.5 rear. i probably wouldnt call the rear deep concave. after u lower i think u will get the sunkin look. is that what u were going for?
