I love any headlight with projectors (stock, not ricey eBay/aftermarket headlights). Looks more....not "modern" but you know what I mean. Plus I'll take my HID's over halogen any day of the week.
My EJ8; my slow build.

i like the light output of retrofits, but i hate how retrofits look also. projectors arent my thing
+1. The functionality is awesome, the look.. is weird..I don't like it much on Civics. BMWs, G37s etc. look great, on the other hand.
This. It's a bummer they look so weird.
For a custom made downpipe?
Don't pay more than like $50 for it, either, or you're getting hosed.
I guess it all depends on whether you provide the flange, and curvature/angle etc. Mine was pretty much straight down, mandrel bent, 3" piping and I provided the flange. The shop charged me $55 installed.
He's going to be doing all the measuring and bending and I guess it'll depend on if he has the flange or not.
Ah gotcha. I had a simple downpipe I needed. I cut the flange off my old DP, cleaned up it, bought a flex pipe, and brought it to an exhaust shop with a mandrel bender. Told them what I wanted, it took em like 10 minutes to get everything bent and welded/bolted on.
Yeah see I'm being wayyy pickier. He makes his own exhaust manifolds and does an amazing job. I'm having him make this so I can (hopefully) be as low as I am with a 3 inch downpipe.
That was my issue: my DC2 was slammed like a motherfucker, so I had clearance issues. I ended up going with 16" wheels and going up a little bit with suspension to put me up the half inch I needed to clear without scraping my DP on everything. Even then, I had to be REALLY careful. A 3" DP is pretty big. If he's good, he could get really creative and route it to the side rather than straight down.
I have a feeling he might do that. He doesn't want me to raise my car up
Low + boost are not friends. I learned the hard way a few times haha.I have a feeling he might do that. He doesn't want me to raise my car up
my charge piping was about 2 inches off the ground because of how low my turbo sat 
my downpipe was about $250 from Stefan with him supplying everything, how much he (the guy doing yours)doing yours for again Alex? 3 inches IS pretty big but i guess it depends on your exhaust size too..as long as its not 3 inch downpipe to a 2.5 exhaust it shouldn't hurt you

My exhaust is 2.5.. why is that bad? And he quoted me about $175-ishmy charge piping was about 2 inches off the ground because of how low my turbo sat

why not go with a 2.5 inch down pipe? if you had a 3inch exhaust i would understand
