projection is not brighter its just more focused so the light seems brighter.

Re: 2005 Gli

Bought a 2005 GLI (Black Magic, 6 speed) last weekend. It's pretty fun. Only have 200 miles so far, but have logged some observations.

1-The ride is kinda harsh, but I expected that.
2-The front end drags on EVERYTHING. It's really too low.
3-The Monsoon system is pretty good, but not great.
4-Good acceleration, boost is nice.

Overall, it's damn fun.

Re: 2005 Gli

Congrats! I saw that color and was impressed with it. However, I opted for the black magic, looks stellar in the sunlight as well but it doesn't draw as much attention to itself. My driving record really needs about a year to regulate before I can drive any bright, flashy cars again. So black won out.

Enjoy the car, it's really a blast. Careful of the front end, it'll drag on everything.

Mahalo!
