hey i have that kit except it has the fog light cut outs already and in my oppion it makes that front look alott smaller.


also i think u tucked the side skirts in a lil too far, it would look alot better flaired outt and yea, i spent wayy more than 4 hours fitting those side skirts and over 3 hours putting on the front bumper to make all the gaps line up.

but for my year i believe it is one of the best looking kits cuz the stock bumper truely looks like crap. on the 99-04 i think the cobra/cobra r's are better looking but yea, w/e u like.
what rear bumper are u putting on?? cuz if ur doing the spider rear, then 3in tips look perfect.

cuz i mean seriously from this:

to this:

is a hell of an improvement

I Like Kerrys kit! It truly makes for a more aggressive look. just not a fan of the big white stripe on the red car posted earlier. perhaps he should get that same hood and scratch the srtipes!!

[kerry]

thankx i deff think the hood makes it.

Hey kerry I noticed you also have after market projector headlights. Do yours ever build up moisture inside the lens or ever fog-up?

If not what did you do to prevent that if anything? what is your seasonal climate like?-curious of that effect as well.

I have a pair now (3 sets in total) and each pair I had to reseal with, not just a silicon, but an epoxy to prevent moisture and fogging.

not my cup-o-tea, but its your car.

well i think right after i got the lights they leaked and fogged up a bit but it was gone within the first week. i also have aftermarket altezza lights (sp?) and they fog up like a bitch. lol i started by putting a drain tube in the bottom of each to not only drain the water out but to equilize the humidity.
well that didnt work...
then i siliconed all the edges where the plactic pieces meet each other around the edges, thinking that the seal cant be great.
that also didnt work...
then i used undercoating on the entire back of the light to seal up where the lights twist into the housing thinking that water could be getting in there as well.
it still fogged up...
so now a year later i have two tail lights that fog up so much that u cant see the actual lights every time i wash my car or drive in the rain but it usually clears within 4-5 days.
so if u cant think of anything else... please tell me.

btw ur cobra looks sickk

thank you for the car compliment. As for the lights I have discovered where the leaks were, at least on the 99-04 lights. You have to completed remove the rubber sealing strip across the top and side of the light housing and seal down in that crack of the casing then reglue rubber stripping on. That was a very weak spot because they think the rubber seals will do the trick so they skimp on the glue in that area during production.

As for all the other methods you have tried-anyone of those stages you performed could have done the trick. But you wouldnt know because you have moisture now trapped in the housing and when the perfectly sealed light gets hot enough the water that you dont see at first adventually gravitates to the lens which happens to be the waters furthest escape from the hot bulbs. To remove the moisture you need a white womans tights knee high length-white is important so you can see the color of the silicone beads that will be placed inside) tuck stocking partly into the light housing via one of the light sockets (also make sure all other holes are taped shut when plugs and bulbs are removed.) then fill the stocking from the outside with silicone beads you can buy at any craft store , people use the stuff to dry flowers/ Dont get powder form-it will seep through tights into housing. The beads go in like a hour glass, tie a not in stocking and dont let it loose into housing. cover that hole with tape as well with the stocking end hanging out. Just dont let go of stocking. Beads are blue when they go in and are pink when they are full of moisture. remove beads the same way the went in by turning upside down and pour out like a hour glass. repeat till the beads you let sit in the light stop turning pink. then you know moisture is out. I let the stocking sit for at least 8 hours each time to work. Keep the holes taped shut until bulbs are eready to plug in to keep moisture from garrage or basement entering the housing via the holes

As for the tail lights I beleive they should have a pin hole drilled in the center of the lens so that the heat can escape. I know my 2003 stock tail lights do
