Definitely. It looks fantastic with the covers on it.

Ok so I think going HID is a good idea..however a couple of questions as I have no idea about them.

As I have the factory halogen headlamps (as HID's were friggin $1200 for the pair).. what do I need to get an HID conversion? Is it even possible because all the HID swaps I've read around are from GT500's with OEM HID's swapping bulbs...

Definitely Do It! I Love the look! I do remove the headlight covers if driving after dark, there just isn't enough light with them on.

I say do it. You are in Dubai, where car laws are nowhere near like what our damn liberal law makers have restricted on us here in the states. And since Dubai laws so not prohibit you form doing it, It's your car and you can add that cool simple bolt-on mod with no repercussions.

However, if you are intending to return to the States anytime in the future and you want to bring back your ride with you, you should keep the stock lamp covers and reinstall them when you get back home.

looks good, but make sure that its not illegal in your state at night... In NC you have to remove them at night and that is more hassle than its worth sometimes... I only use mine at car shows...
