Ah man. I have bad news. haha. Not horrible, but bad enough. So far two HID kits are in. And it's been like that for two weeks already. The other two were supposed to be installed later this week. But, if you can believe it I was going about 271km/h or 170mph oh the highway here doing some top speed runs. And what happens the right side headlight cover flys off hits my hood dents my hood, slams into my windshield and flys gods knows where on the side of the highway. The whole time I'm slowly reducing my speed. So, I'm guess the shop that installed the HIDs didn't do a good job and now I'm riding ghetto with one head light cover missing and i can't get a car wash!!!! hahaha. I bought another cover but I have to get it painted..... Oh and the screw that holds the cover on the whole section of the housing was broken off so no there is no where to mount the cover into. Luckily I have my half-cut that I can rob. hahaha.

Must have not felt too good when it happened. I once had the hood unlatch at 220kmph/136mph, luckily it was on the Jaguar (hood hinges the "wrong" way).

What have you done to your car to make it go 271 kmph? In stock form they should go 250 kmph, right? I have never had a chance to go faster than 230... I think, the speedo read 240 but it lies about 10kmph (which is a bit weird as the wheel sizes are as original).
