Car is in the shop, wheels are being powder coated gloss black. Car is silver. I didn't do anything to the lens so lights will function as normal.

Now I'm interested

Also like to see ur car powdercoated. I heard it is pretty much permanent so I thought I might have them dipped first?

Hopefully I get my car back today. I'll probably get some pics up tomorrow.

redondoaveb · 06-15-2017, 08:26 PM

Just got the car back and installed the lights. Here are a few pics.

Yep, sport rays. I ended up paying $750.00. I drove the car in and when they were done I drove it home. They took care of everything. That included powder coating the lug nuts. We'll see how well they hold up. I ordered a black set just in case. They had the car 4 days.

For me to not have to do anything but drive it in and drive it out, $180.00 a wheel was worth it.

Cheapest mod for me was the muffler spacer for wayyy better sound then stock. I didn't want to spend the money on a decent exhaust. Planning on bp kit so I'll prob go with the 3 inch aluminum option

$0

Turned steering wheel "tuning" button into "volume up" (down does nothing) and "source" button into volume down by simply switching the wiring plugs. True plug and play!! OE volume button does nothing either. Considering I drive with my left elbow on the top of the door panel my hand is at 11 o'clock, so no more having to move it for volume control, which is what I use most (only), other than cruise control.
