Wow, I thought it'd be more. I had a freak accident when I was 16 where my Saab 9-5 almost cut me in half when a jack broke while I was changing my brake pads. I felt something move slightly and the rotor ended up digging into the ground where my chest had been moments prior.

Ever since, I won't go under a car. Call me crazy ... How long is "installed myself easy" as I'd be paying someone else to do it unfortunately.

Oh wow sorry to hear that I usually try not to go under the car either I always like to put stuff on there in case in this situation you can buy the links yourself and have a shop install them for you it takes about an hour

@Edike550 did the signal light cover come black or did you change them? I've noticed white/clear or yellow/orange. I can't remember seeing black on this model.

Nice. How bright are they? I have the orange ones and I swear from a block away I can see them flashing off of signs and other objects.

Looks great! Did you use a dip that you sprayed out of a gun or just a rattle can? Did you use any of the "Glossifier" or the finishing metallic coat? I have the same wheels which are going to become my winter set and it really spiced them up! Somehow they almost don't look as "small" as they appear when silver?

Also, being that it's going to snow in less than two months, I've been trying as hard as I can to not buy "summer" tires until they can actually go ON the car and not just be pulled straight back off!

How hard was it to get equal coverage on the wheel? Especially in the slots between the spokes? I haven't used plastidip yet on anything.

A nice 15 yard by 5 foot wide roll of 3M 1080 just showed up...... A bit more than I probably needed for window trim, grill, and misc chrome...
