This was on my wedding day in September. Wish it was cleaner.
Love the white w211 in background)) As most of you know my E is White underneath.

How she sits right now before going gloss black on cv3's:





And for some advice:
I havent had rear license plate lights for probably 8 months. Ive had leds until they burned out and now both the lights are out and the socket isnt getting power. My JL W6's musta really worked hard lol. I wired up cheap autozone "in-screw leds" which also burned out.
I'm gonna get nailed one of these days with the early sunset.
I also have Laser Interceptor boxes right where the lights should be. That'll be a nice convo .
Advice what to use?

Great color choice. Few questions for you!
1) How long have you had the dip for ?
2) How easy is it to clean with bird ****, does it stain the dip?
3) pressure washers seem to be okay over repeated use on it?

Thanks!!!
