I was all excited at the first post, then I seen the yellow I did my wheels recently also. Got bored with the color and thought the new color would work better. They are a little less ricey and more mainstream Not done yet. Wasn't really good with the masking off, but I'll clean that up. Before and after.

erm...
at the least cover your tires before spraying... not to say about them starting to peel after a while - i suppose you just sprayed over the old surface treatment? ...

hey mac where did you get the headlights at i like them.

mac25

ebay. i've had em since november 2010, almost a year, no problems yet. i was surprised the ebay bulbs lasted this long, lol. they came with the grill.

floyd107

did your stock head light wires hook rite up or did you have to make any mods to the wires? are you running hids if so did they go in fine

mac25

you pay for the quality the set i have cost over 300 after shipping and tax. but it fit perfectly and all the wiring hooked up to the oem harnesses. well the main lights have plugs to plug into the oem wires from the car's switchs and battery, but the blue halo's and other leds i had to splice and soder into the wiring that came with the set.

and no they are not hids, i didn't want to risk a ticket, plus i didn't want to buy the extra battery boosting thing for hids. the bulbs are just normal bulbs you can get at canadian tire, but the projectors make em look bad ***.
