Looks sharp Mikey !!
I notice your door handles are still chrome.
They are the only thing chrome on my car right now, but I heard they're a bytch to take off & apart. Plus mine have keyless go - I really don't want to fukk around with that....
Too bad there's not an easier way, as I would like mine black...

chiromikey, I had mine done by vinyl, works out great but I don't know how long it will last. I was gonna do my rims with a satin gold ring but figured i might get sick of it, i still might do it. Do you regret it?

they're a light smoke...just enough to take the edge off. i didn't want to go any darker and lose lumen output. i really want to paint the inner housing but i would lose the highbeams if i paint both to match so this is where i'm at.

thanks everyone and btw, i know everyone likes the flat hood badges but i dig the star. here's what i did with a little powdercoating...
