thanks for all the comments !! .. I m now thinking of getting the front lip LOl it may last a month but oh well...
The lights are actually tinted. I went to shinzo and it was like 150 for 4 lights , a little bit expensive but it def gave it a different look... There are two films I went with the lighter one however the darker one is a lot nicer...
Like someone else said if you actually decide to go darker you are going to get a ticket for sure , at least i was told that by pierre at shinzo ... To this day i still think darker will look nicer but i can not afford a ticket so i m going to have to live with the lighter tint

But yea.. ricer tinting will get you a minimum of a ticket.

Mine are not blue. I took the picture with my iPhone, and it sucked. They are purple/white-ish. Think of it like this: All the white lines on the road turn purple, and the yellow lines are faded yellow, looking like white lines. They're really amazing, you don't even need high-beams. I feel so safe with low beams in the country side (i do alot of driving there). There is absolutely no comparison to halogens. It's a must, and truly plug-and-play.
I see ... I m still debating between 6000 k and 8000 k . I was going to buy halongen angels but i read they suck big time so i stayed away from it

I was debating too before I ended up getting the 8000K. I definitely was not disappointed. I like the hint of purple compared to just white.

Its actually pretty easy the only hard part is going to be painting it ... There was a thread about a store in scarborough but i m wondering if someone in mississauga can help

i doubt you will break the lip. Actually the other day i was turning into a parking lot and didn't take it on a large enough angle and i scrapped the crap out of my front lip but it didn't break, just got scratched. sooo im sure you'll be ok 
ive seen an after market wide mouth grill on your car, looks good but i like how you have yours with the blue emblem, I would leave it the way you have it

I took it to my bodywork guy down by toryork.. 70 $ paint and installation of the lip and he did it in a saturday LOL... I can give you his address but he ll probably charge 100 ( maybe 80) , I paid 70 because he is done some work for me already ...
