Yeah, its a nice way to make a little extra money since I like doing it, lets me get creative sometimes too

Got my mirror bases painted volvo black

Comparison:


Installed (Bad picture but you get the idea):


Ordered parts for custom center caps for my OEM 19"s they will be red and say RAYS in white writing

Black hood struts, motordyne sway bars will be coming soon

Then I will start thinking about integrating LED DRLs into the nismo bumper. Im thinking 3 or 4 of these per side: http://www.v-leds.com/Universal-LED/...viewsTabAnchor

If you go to DLRs in the bumper will you do a quad projector retro now that you don't have to deal with DLR issues?

to me, the projector retrofit isnt worth the material cost or effort,I actually really like the look of reflectors

My rays are duplicolor gunmetal, I just did it to see if I liked the colour. Will probably PC them this winter.

As for the center cap, its just a blank center cap and a sticker. I'll give you the contact info for both companies if you want. Its similar to SD geniuses wife's, just red not blue
