Hi guys, quite new to forums. Current mods are twin tip 3" Varex, Snorkel + K&N filter, Kingsprings super low all round.

I wanted to know if there were any manufactures out there who made 'to fit' CAI or short rams for the 380 or not, as i feel the K&N feel little or even no different to the stock.

I also wanted to get a white with touch of blue HID 6000k-8000k. Ive searched already and learnt that the HID do not suit the 380 reflectors, so what are the alternatives?
I'm trying to achieve the factory headlight look of the euro honda vehicles, where their color varies from distance, and are not as bright enough to blind oncoming traffic.

Lastly i wanted to put a VRX badge on the grill. Ive seen the badge on the lower section of the grill on a series 3, but i was wondering if it is able to achieve the similar style on a series 2 top grill?

I have searched around before posting, if you can please help.
Telling me to use 'search' isn't really giving me a hand as i have already searched before posting my comments.

Thank you.

Galant Intake has a slightly bigger mouth, there's one option for you!

380 Headlights - Not too many variations at the moment, people have been retrofitting projectors in them, so there's always something you could look at.

Cheers for replying mate.

Does that mean i fit thhe projectors along with the HIDs?

ooh another varex user. you might be able to clear up some issues in the best muffler thread regarding varexs.
vrx badge on the grille is def possible i think maggie3.5 has a gt badge in a similar location from memory.
have you tried just changing the globes to the ones marketed as more blue, as i can pickout chris 380ftw on the freeway at night and he only has different bulbs (for those from mmx he has ditched the HIDs due to police attention.)

Cheers for the reply mate!

Yea thats what i wanted to do. But instead of the 'GT' i wanted the VRX on it haha

I bought the emblem off the dealers for 15 bucks which has already got the double sided tape on it already, but i figured it wouldn't stick as well onto the grill since there is no much surface.

All these lighting crap is doing my head in. 6000-8000k apparently look crap on 380, but i want to get something like those euro cars.

I have a GT badge on lower grille. I cut the back spine off an old Video box (exactly the right width) used the d/s tape supplied to mount it then used liquid nails to fix to grille. Been on 2 years no probs

Cheers Chris,

sounds like a plan

Damn that is sick, exactly what im trying to do with mine but on the top grill where your art badge is at. I did what you said but instead im cutting out a dvd cover having trouble getting in the little gaps haha. Do you think ill be fine if i stuck it on the grill with super glue?

I guess, but I used liquid nails as it sort of oozes between the honeycombe of the grill. Put plenty on you dont want it to drop off at the first bump. Get the cheap liquid nails for a couple of dollars.

OH nice never seen HID in the fogs before, but i think im gonna keep my foglights stock incase i encounter unexpected weather.

Nice Grill, how did you manage to stuck that one on?

-TN

lol they are led rings and bulbs,its just the angle of the shot.....and the badge is double sided tape....

Oh ok, like from the previous post i might go with the 3M d/s tape, im just afraid it might fall off since the only thing holding it in place is the thin plastic edge of the honeycomb of the grill :S.
But then again, if you guys have done it, it can't go wrong.. i hope XD

Factory HIDs are 4300k, which is white with an ever-so-slight yellow tinge. White with a touch of blue is about 6000k.
