It looks like the mod that Ron S. did on his 4Runner years ago. The pictures don't work but you can see the write-up here.

thanks for the comments. the spaces under the headlights are just there because i didnt get around to putting the plates back on after painting. though the mod Ron S. did looks good, i think its too much work for minimal results imo. theres just too much "crap" behind there to allow easy and good airflow into the engine bay. i might just try to make my hoodscoop functional by cutting out the back and putting a removable "plate" there via velcro or something to help w/ underhood temps. well see how ambitious i am when i get back home though...

oh, and the first numbers are parts for the suspension lift, then the muranos are the projectors i went with, with a clear lens swap, plus a 50w hid kit in them. i also have a set of oem matsua gen 3 ballasts on the side for if and when those aftermarket ballasts crap out.

thanks bighead and hiloracerboy84

I like that look- though that pictured front end is a bit "busy" I like that intake look under the headlights. Thanks for the link.

First of all, your truck looks awesome!

I wanted to ask about the STi lenses, do you mean from a Subaru Impreza STi? Or is it a brand name for that part?

texantaco - the sti lenses are used as a clear replacement for the stock muranos/porsches fresnel lens. the originals are off jdm sTi's and the headlights will run you $600+ easy. the replicas are supposed to "replicate" their performance but at a much more manageable price. you planning a retro?
