Very clean! Good job. Are you considering changing the headlights? The headlights have always been my pet peeve when they have that "Cloudy film" look. Other than that, you're ride looks new again! Are those 20's you have on them too?

I painted them...its a mix of black paint and clear coat which gives the paint some transparency. Took them out, wet sanded them, painted them, wetsanded again, buffed, reinstall. Friends of mine here have a paint shop they do them for $250.

lowering was supposed to be eliminated due to tire size but when I had to put skinnies on the front I had to consider it. I'm putting skinnies on the back too soon to match the front so I'll have to slam it soon thereafter.

Very clean. Always one of my favorite cars. All you need to do now is lower it and it will set it off right.

Who should I say referred me?

PS The only lights besides yours that were blacked out that well are on Bentley GTs. I thought they were done only with the film, they match the car much more painted.

tell them Howie sent you, they'll take care of you. Honestly they can be a bit pricey but the work is phenomenal!!! You decide how dark you want them!
