Painted my headlight housing , installed rexpeed lip and ducts

Hey guys well me and 02-lancer-es from evom got together tonight to do some goodies on my car. We installed my rexpeed lip & fog delete kit and painted my headlight housing matte black. The lip install was a pain cause i had to do a lot of custom work on it to get it to mold to the bumper, including heating, cutting and drilling. It looks very good installed but rexpeed needs to send instructions they just send a bunch of bolts and leave it up to you. The ducts were a pain as well but fit perfectly props to rexpeed for making a great product here!! Headlight housing are also a pain but very worth it. Remember all these mods include taking your bumper out.

Here are some pictures of the stuff we installed.








Thanks again to 02-lancer-es for all his help

What about your high beam reflectors?
Looks good but it's not worth losing your high beams.

Evo x's have projectors so it does not matter, my high beam and low beam use the same projector, the only light output that was affected were my drls and i think it looks better with them not so bright.

True the Evo X with the SSS headlights have a Bi-Xenon projector so it controls the low beam and high beam . Also since the projector does not reflect any light off the housing there was nothing lost .
