    Yeah man, that's what I got. Finished putting them in today just need to aim them tonight. I'm really considering doing a satoshi soon too but need to find some mesh I like. I came here trying to get some ideas. A flush satoshi would look sick with these lights I think.

    Ha thanks man!! Yeah man I'm really happy with them. Hi beams scatter a little but that's alright. I'm going to do a retro later.

    Where did you get your mesh and emblem? I really like your satoshi, it's clean and simple. I'd like to do that but make it flush with the surround.

    A lift, some wheels, some tires, some performance, some cosmetic and then audio.
    Good question...as soon as the hood is popped reach in between the popped hood and top of grille and you can push the latch that why to release it.

    Yeah just to see if you like it, if you do you can paint it with something more durable but if you don't like it you can just peel it off
