No Audio yet, but at least I can drive it again

I just did the prep, and took it in to be painted.

Did you take it to a shop or did you find somebody off craigslist or something? Looks good!

I took it to a shop, I wanted to make sure it was done right in a paint booth. The paint I took off was a side job paint, and the clear was messed up and didn't last. Didn't want to take that chance again.

Been doing some updates to the car, here a couple new pics.

Added fog/driving lights, I don't plan on these actually being used for light output so I put some LEDs in them for looks.

and I also added something that every 3rd Gen Camaro owner has always wondered why it didn't come factory.
A fricken Cup Holder!

lol @ the cup holder. Those cars were always odd without one. I guess it was more of a sports car than a cruising around drinking coffee car...

Ya it's always bugged me, but what bugged me more was the Firebird which was pretty much the same car. Some models got one on each door.

So today, I got my HID retrofit from The Retrofitstore
They are a 35W BiXenon projector, retrofitted into a 4x6 Sealed Beam. I went with the 5k color temperature, a very bright white light.

The kit is fantastic too, absolutely no cutting/splicing of my factory wires!

I can't believe the difference from the old Halogen lights.
Here is how it looked behind the wheel at night before installing them:

and this is the after, taken with the same camera:

Here is the cutoff pattern, still not sure if I have these aligned right, but nobody is flashing their lights at me so I think I'm OK:

and here is how the look on the car:

I need to figure out if there is a way to 'straighten' the inner lights. They look funny they way they are now, and I can't see how to fix it.

I haven't been able to try out the high beam function on these lights yet, my high beam switch is broke so I'll have to wait until I get that fixed.
