Are you asking me out?
Yep, I am still at the Cadillac Dealership. We are going to be 1 of 450 Cadillac dealers left in the nation. So that's nice. Since I talked to you last, I am now doing roadside assistance for my dealership and also we are now open on Saturday's, so more money for me but less of a life lol.

How are you doing?

Sounds great! I can't wait to see them. I'm going to try to have mine done eventually here. You really can't rush a retrofit apparently because you had I have been doing ours for a while now. Let me know as soon as you figure out that cutoff though. I've played with mine some and I think I got it halfway decent.

I am half tempted just to throw the other halves of the projectors and send them to you for free just so you have something else if you wanted it haha. I could use a little money though. Did you still want them? If so, I could probably send them off by the next week. We could discuss through PM if you want. I could also mate the 2 and see what the cutoff is like.

Holy shhiit..only 450 Cadillac dealers left in the nation?

Some how there's one left in my home town of 60k people.

How is it working at a Cadillac stealership?

450 is a lot..maybe not compared to what they had before but 450 dealerships equal to at least 9 dealers in each state.

There were like 1500, so that is a HUGE cut. How is it working for Caddy, well lets just say the Cadillac is a different breed. 20+ smart computers (computers that can communicate with one another) add to the fun. haha. I just worked 6 days straight so I should have money for tires next check. I also do roadsides, which is nice extra pay as well. In fact, we are the only caddy dealer in KC that still does roadside assistance... lots of work for me...

Well, currently its still the stock projecto (OEM H11) so if it fits on the same bracket mount w/o moding....and clears the housing, I'd be tempted highly to take you up on that offer. What halves did you mean? If nothing else, the headlights will have the OEM projectors and I'll have to make it look as good as possible.

Aurora, I am talking about the RX330 front and SC430 back. It would take some serious modding to fit because I was originally going to just use SC430's and to make them fit I chopped up the factory bracket a lot. It works though lol.

Haha, idk bro. I think these babies are getting summed up before the month is out and that won't happen with custom brackets and what not unless you already had those made, hehe.

They will be on soon. Tires will be here next week as I got some phat cash last week Will post results of that very soon.

Also, did an alignment Thursday (purchased the ingalls front camber bolts, 2 for each side) and now my front sits at -2.5 degrees of camber each side and rear is at -1.5 each side. These wheels should fit fine! haha.

LOL, well the new CTS motors are a lot better but steer clear of the Catera's, they are junk! I love how the new CTS's ride, the only problem I have seen are the timing chains stretching (not enough to ruin the engine, but enough to set codes and turn on the SES). I have seen some with as little as 10k miles need new chains. I am wondering if there will ever be a recall, I think there should be because it is pretty common.

If you want before and after pictures I can post some pictures of what my ride looks like currently. Mind you, the headlights are temporary until the 08 retro is completed. Tires will be here this week! Woot!
