Those are the Gen 3 Halo Projectors. I also have 8000k HID's in them.

Yeah when ever I get my SS in a year or so it will be Imperial Blue.. I love this color.


Thanks for all the responses.. I need to take a clay bar to it but I just don't have the time for that right now. My front bumper is screwed from the winters up here, and the 100 mile round trip to work everyday on the interstate. It looks like someone has taken a sandblaster to it

Clay bar won't work, trust me. I tried on my imperial blue 2.4L this last spring and it didn't make a difference on the front bumper, rest turned out great. The front bumper is a lost cause if it's seen salt on the roads though.

do it on the shade ,first wash the car and dry, the use the spray and spray ur hand or the clay bar will stick to your hand very easy, now do the edges and then the rest on circular motion from top,hood,trunk and then the sides if the liquid gets dry dnt worry just finish the car and wash it again, after that wax it i recommend u mothers or eagle 1 products dnt wax it on the sun, then take the wax of with a microfiber towel. and dont pick up any lil rocks with the clay bar or u will scratch the paint...... THEN JUST WAX IT... IF U USE THE STUFF THE RIGHT WAY IT WILL WORK GOOD
