DDM HID's came in today and i decided to install them! I got 5k 35w slim ballasts. The difference in light output is huge im very satisfied and they compliment my 5k fogs.

Did a little maintenance today! First cleaned the engine bay a little!

What did you use on the engine bay / how did you do it? That looks nice and mine is in need of it!

Not sure what he used, but I just use Heavy Duty engine degreaser. Scrubbed the areas that had heavy carbon deposit with some wheel detailing brushes, and rinsed off with my garden sprayer. Looks about as clean as his engine bay. There are plenty of ways to skin a cat, not sure what method he chose.

Yup thats basically how i did it I went into a near by orriellys auto parts and got a mild degreaser since my bay wasnt too bad then i went to town on the engine bay and used the whole bottle. let it sit for about 15 mins then like daihashi said used the light spray from my sprayer and watered it down. Then finally to dry it off i drove it around the block. Good luck

The new bumper looks a lot better, I had to zoom in after you said to look at the first picture to see how bad the bumper really was. I can see why you replaced it now, looking good.
