here's what i need:
1. tint place, tint brands (ceramic), what's a good price, things to pay attention to, etc
2. clear corners (i know it's a G35 term, i dont know what you call them, but they're the orange reflectors). I wanna know where i can get them, and for how much
3. wheels, definitely would like that done today like during lunch of after. i dont know how feasible that is, but i wanna try
4. aero lip, i think this is where Long kicks in? where should i buy it, paint it, install it
5. halogen or white angel eyes

then in a couple of weeks if the fuel pump doesnt blow i will get PROcede. or should i not wait until break-in?

yeah I'm with you....
of that list...i still have tint to go as well as my lighting. I'm still trying to hold out to see if there's a brigther solution to the the MTEC/GP Thunder route. i like the color, just wish it was a tad bit brighter...

as for tint...I just haven't had time to take it down to the tint place. My weekends have been pretty busy, and that's pretty much the only time I can go.

I should be getting my coilovers in sometime this month or early next month

You only have to buy the Angel eyes. The cornering lamp doesn't come on too often, the fogs are optional. Depends if you want them to match or not. Obviously the stock fogs will be brighter.

The JLevi solution (see vendor/gb section) might work but $150 for just the angel eye bulbs. Man, they better look REALLY good in the daytime. We'll see.

Well, usually, the GP thunders are used for your angel eyes
MTEC H3 are used for cornering lights
and the MTEC H8's are for the fogs? or do I have that backwards?

either way you can do 1 and not the other 2
you can do 2 or not the other 1.....your choice

Yeah...I want something that shows up better during daytime driving. Honestly besides the color, I like the brightness of the stock angels as DRL's as they are...

I'm fine with the brightness except I wish it lit up the outer ring as well.
