these headlights are pretty cool, they allow for the buyer to grab a decent set of lights at a decent price. At the time of this review the lights as shown were $239.99 before shipping and handling. The Volkswagen is notoriously a European car that has taken over roads in the United States, now obviously there’s going to be plenty of these cars on the road to the price range and availability of them. But how are you going to set your car apart from the rest that is the main question. Well for the past several years people have been replaced in our taillights with the European-style taillights or they been replacement headlights with projector headlights. So we all beg to ask the question of what else is new to separate my vehicle from any other vehicle out there? Well recently Audi has released several new vehicles which are utilizing an LED lighting structure underneath the main headlights. Well this is very intriguing for people and will definitely add to the mystique of customers purchasing new Audi’s. So R8-Headlights.com said why not apply these new designs to a few of our non-Audi applications, and the aftermarket R8 style was born. So let’s look over the Volkswagen Jetta application, the first thing that we noticed right off the bat is that these lights are just wild looking. They seem to be very simple when looking directly at them if you did not know that they were aftermarket you probably could not tell other than the fact that they have a black backing. The lights are well made and do look very simple to say the least.

The biggest and main difference you are going to notice with these headlights are that the projectors are extremely effective at nighttime, giving a superior being over your stock Jetta lights. The second thing is going to be the LED lighting underneath the headlights in the new R8 style. We like the way that these lights look and overall I would say for the price you’re getting exactly what you’re looking for.
Okay now onto the negatives, there is one main thing that I can see just from looking at the lights at night, and that is the LED lighting is a spaced a little too far apart from each other. This is not really noticeable from about 15 feet, but when you get up on the car you’re able to see that the lighting and space a little bit far apart from each other.
So that’s about it just keeping it real and just letting everybody know that these new R8 style lights are something to behold, and definitely a beautiful addition to the aftermarket lighting scene. We want to support one of our sponsors http://www.R8-headlights.com for setting us up with a set of lights to review. We hope this helps and once again happy shopping in the aftermarket world!

2009 Ford Mustang Body Kit Review

2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 Mustang Stallion rear bumper

Today we will be reviewing the 2005 through 2009 Ford Mustang B.-Magic body kit the stallion style. This body kit is made by AIT racing in a high quality vinyl ester resin and finished in a glossy smooth gelcoat. Each body kit is handmade to order and will usually take up to 10 days for this manufacture to deliver the part. Now let’s take a look at a few photos courtesy of Bmagic racing.

2009 Mustang Body Kit

if you can see by the body kit pictured the Mustang is now given a valued facelift. The aggressive chin and Grill support show that the Mustang can be a bit unrefined and have a look like no other. This Mustang body kit and all of its glory can show you how a body kit can change the complete look of a vehicle from a front bumper, to a rear bumper, to a set of side skirts.

The sets of side skirts in the picture can show you exactly how a simple set of side skirts can give off that aggressive feel. For us, besides Kurds are definitely not intricate in design, they are simple and somewhat protruding. However they do help to give the Mustang a wider look visually and that is never a bad thing. This allows you to purchase rims that fit all the way out to the wheel well.

We are not too impressed with their rear skirt bumper. It is very simple and dull and pushes out a bit for us. The average enthusiast can tell them not a lot of work went into the detail of this rear bumper. It simply scaffolds out, and the exhaust seems to be pushed in by the immense girth of the skirt. However like we said in the beginning that this kid is very simple in nature and by terms of body kits some people can tend to enjoy these looks. Seems that this body kit uses traces of other kits molded into the car, which allows for the customer to completely replace the rear bumper.

The front bumper of this car body kit seems to be the main attraction of this Mustang kit. If you are driving a stock Mustang at this point you’re going to want to start looking at upgrading your front bumper to separate you from the other bone stock mustangs that are all on the road. And that is what you will find with this bumper. It is very edgy and shows that the Mustang as well refined as a muscle car can be can have a little fun in its looks as well. Your turn signals will be able to mount into the bumper and the Grill has mounted fog lights placed in them. We are thoroughly impressed with this front bumper.

As for the fitting on this body kit we cannot be certain, we do see that it has dual exhaust which would mean either

  1. you will need to upgrade to dual exhaust
  2. or already own a GT

AIT usually has great fitment on their products, however this is a company who replicates other body kits also so you can really never be too careful when purchasing. We can however conclude that these body kits branded with B- magic have undergone several tests to maintain its name synonymous with its value. If you do have any reports or have any comments please feel free to post, we will be happy to add your comments.
