it was pretty easy. you just have to concentrate, cuz it just takes one slip to mess up ur hood. i used a dremel for the hole install. it spins fast enough to not crack the clear coats.

Re: got the rice-rocket back!!!

my only advice is dont get colored lug nuts. i just really think that gaudy annodized lug nuts take away from the beauty of the rims...

not tryin to be a douche but i beleive he already has aftermarket lugs on there. in one of his pics it shows a close up of the wheel and they look like their ones aftermarket to me i know you cant use aftermarket ones with stock steelies but maybe stock rims/alloys are a different idk
