Valiant effort, Todd!
Car looks great, what's the benefit of projectors over standard lights? Isn't the conversion a bit of a pain and expensive?
Projectors offer a much wider beam and, since the light has a precise cutoff, allow the light to be brighter without being "that guy" that blinds every oncoming car. The projectors I retrofitted were salvaged from an Acura TSX so they weren't all that expensive. I did the work myself which negates the brunt of the cost.
It isn't THAT big of a deal, but I had the headlights open anyway and decided to go for it.

I promised to take some photos on my trip home, but ended up with just a few cellphone shots. Hope you enjoy them nevertheless.
The hems are a mess now. Ripping roping, loose threads everywhere (some restitched, some not) and worn through fabric. I'm thinking of getting another chainstitching done on top of the old one.
I'll be at the sea some days and wear these jeans, then wash them and then hopefully add the UES to the rotation. Have a nice new year's party, everyone! -
HC-IH-01 - Iron Heart MBB Prototypes
I've been rotating these with 2 pairs of Trophy and a pair of Jelado jeans (as basically I have no hopes of winning, and would probably be declared the worlds biggest cheat if I did). The facings and indigo loss don't match that of others, but it is all honest wear, and fading exactly to my body, which to me is what this thing is all about.

HC-IH-05
First update of the new year. Hopefully, I'll be able to do this more regularly now.

I'm back from post-christmas vacation at the sea. Hope you like the pictures, we had a wonderful time and peaceful start for the year.
The result (pre wash, they're in the machine right now.):

Thank you! Hiking in the storm, lots of seafood, living near a lighthouse and only 3 hours away…way to start a year.

Pefect. No really perfect. I hate you bastards who never have to repair blowouts & don't have to hem their bottoms.
Way to show what 25oz denim can do & the blue W & arcs are sexy as hell

Already said it over on Sufu, but for me Fanya is the king at half time (almost).
**Dudes, I'm writing an article about the half way point of the HWDC (well actually Albert Lee and Rawr Denim is writing it, I'm just providing notes and images). Could I ask some of you guys to email me any images which you are particularly pleased with to megatron@nokipple.com.
I can only use about 6 images, but your help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you :)**
