Guide for proper HID aiming is here
http://www.hidplanet.com/forums/showthread.php?10848-HOW-TO-aim-HID-headlights
As far as the adjustments on the car, for up and down there are two white plastic caps towards the top of the headlight housings on the genjuan. I popped em off, and behind them are a 10mm adjustment (or phillips...whichever you can fit in the cramped space) which adjusts up and down. Left and right aiming adjustment i forget. But theres a diagram on the other forum for where the adjustments are.
If you have a GT with the leveling switch, do the adjustment at the highest setting, or one lower if you want to to be able to raise them up with the switch by putting it on the highest level on a back road. But i dunno if id trust the leveling motors to use it that much. I guess you could always manually lower them if the leveling motors fail though.

Thanks! That was me holding flashlights yesterday while V put together ridiculous wobble extensions and turned wrenches for the DP install lol. My weak ass wouldn't have been much help
Thanks #2!

Good job, gentlemen! looking forward to seeing her in person!!!
Not much left to do (i say this now, and ill kick myself for it later ). Tune, tint, and a towhook mount for the front license plate (just for you,Evan).
Next year I'll save up for some better tires than what i have now.
Edit:
Oh, and i need to fix my boost gauge so im not a ricer with a non working gauge in the gauge pod lol

Crap! That makes me a ricer because my Prosport mechanical boost gauge in the gauge pod doesn't work HAHA!! My plastic tube melted so it stopped reading the proper boost. It's such a PITA to remove the gauge pod that I've just left it there. I'll probably never need the gauge if I get the AP V3.

Get a AEM Tru Boost Gauge, it has worked very well for me! hit up Cres @ CR3 Motorsport......he has the best pricing
Small update:
When we did the downpipe a few weeks ago, one of the studs on the turbo/DP flange bent on its way out so we didnt put it back in to avoid damaging the treads on the turbo side. No exhaust leak until Tuesday night. And it was bad...could see fumes escaping the hood and a strong smell of fuel.
Last night i went over to Phen's since i dont have any wobble extensions, and I put a new stud in after phen was done working in his friends mz6. No more leak, and no more worrying about carbon monoxide poisoning lol.
Thanks for letting me use your garage and tools!
