ive seen them in the bumper vents of a v35 here and they looked stupid in my opinion.

the ones in aftermarket headlights are better but still kinda out of place

in all honesty, any DRLs bought cheap on ebay are not worth the effort. they are not bright enough, the colour is too blue, and they dont match any of the cars existing lines. to be a proper DRL you would need EACH LED to be a minimum of 3w to be seen in daylight. and they arent cheap. Narva make them....

google any car that has factory DRLs to see what i mean about DRLs integrating into flowing body lines.... its one of those things that never really work as an afterthought.

i personally would look at the 2011 porsche carrera bumper lights with DRLs as a styling idea simply because of the similar front shape

Apparently its "standard" on Canadian G35s .. as DRLs are mandatory there, but not much on the web about getting it or integrating it into our cars. Its all a personal taste whether you like it or not. If it stops others from bumping into me, I'm all for it! :-)

I thought the canadian rules just had low beam headlights that were forced on when the engine is running.. not separate DRLs.. could be wrong though, it has been a while since I have been there!

Audi wannabe is the first thing that comes to mind. Although I love the Look of the "iron man" v36 headlight mod.. Wish it was easier to do though.

What's worse is when you see bogans in their commonwhores with them. I've even seen Patrol's and Hi-Luxes with them in Mackay, lol. But that's QLD for you.

Your car looks great as well projectx. Which one is yours? Does your tail lights stay on btw?

None of those 3 is mine.. I pulled that pic from the MYG37 forum. Its a pretty involved and time consuming modification to get the LED's into the headlights like that. The main problem being, if one little LED blows, you will need to take your car apart again to fix it. The results are so nice though!! My lights are stock right now apart from LED parkers. I was lucky and managed to retain factory HID setup though..

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.

      Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
