Just wondering has anyone tried to fit bmw e36 headlights into our cars? I remember back in the day when I had a 3rd gen maxima the e36 headlights were the exact same dimensions. Just looking to get something like the 93 headlights but cant find any.

I really really really really doubt they would fit...something else might. I know there was a guy who modded some J30(?) headlights to fit, but had some hood gap issues...Also, please don't say it's because you want to convert to angel eyes later /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bawling.gif

No I could care less about angel eyes. Just my stockers are getting old and the reflective chrome inside is peeling off and making the headlights dimmer.

Why not just install vr4 specific units?

Damn that silver galant is pretty mean looking. Would love to see more pics of it.

What you guys probably don't see other than CutlassJim is, that Eterna also runs a Evo 7 head /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif.

Same here. Not sure how much I like it but a shorter exhaust system is good for some weight savings. But having the turbo up in front makes turbo swaps or removal install so easy.

Good looking car none the less, Im interested in seeing it with the hood closed.

That thing is wild, I like it. I'm pretty sure the guy didn't spend the time and money to shave weight from the exhaust system though...

The shorter exhaust doesn't save much weight, but it helps with power since the piping has less bends and less length. Technically it makes more sense. Plus the oil pan won't pick up radiant heat from the exhaust.
