One last mod .................Good One! 
I did the same thing as you Nouman and went from the SW's to the ACA's! You'll be glad that you did it!
I traded my C5R's for mine. I like them MUCH better than the HID C5R's (and my HID's were 55watters. They were BRIGHT, but scattered)!
You'll like these lights!
Please Drive safe on the return trip!

I had a set of the ACA HID lights and they work great, you'll love them.
Have you considered using a transportation company to have them haul your car back home for you ?

in a worst case scenario, anybody looking for a black set could buy a chrome set and paint them.
there's some pics in this thread showing the ACAs taken apart.

if you did this mod, you could paint them blacker than the OEM black ACAs.
the black ACA housings are not as black as they should be IMO.

I have to agree with everyone else, there is no such thing as one last mod... By the way did I not hear this a month or so before, one last mod....
All I know is I drove Nomi's car in Mo and it was wicked then. I can't imagine how more wicked it is going to be with the new power plant in her...
The lights look AH SUM, you lucky devil.... Can't wait till spring, and no snow to get ours....
Looking good there buddy and please take it easy on the way home from Mi with her....

As far as an offer on your car, that comes as No surprise to me! People know a WICKED,SICK machine when they see it! Not too mention that anyone that knows you, knows that you do things right!
The car hauler doesn't sound like a bad idea either! It'll keep you out of harms way! I'm pretty dense and I'd be a little leary of driving a car of that power in rainy,snowy weather! Heck, it's probably scary on dry ground, much less wet stuff!

Weather here those days doesn't look TOO bad. in the 40s at least, so no snow worries. I can't speak for west of here, but I think you'll be ok.
I recall my trip from the infamous "madness mod party" 2 years ago...coming back Thanksgiving weekend. Weather was fine for the trip, but the following weekend we got hit with a foot of snow here. Kinda opened my eyes as to what "could have happened".
Be safe, and hope everything runs trouble-free for ya.
