I just figured since there are so many wheels that do the matte black face, anodized lip it wouldnt be that crazy looking

further away shots plz? so you went for the top instead of bottom? i postponed my project for later, working on my stance right now. umm suggestions, upgrade the 4300k to 6k, and remove the city lights bro, would look so much cleaner.

Yeah.. Had to go top.. the strip didn't fit across the bottom, it was too wide? I'd have had to cut the strip..

yeah, I wanna change the HID bulb now because there's a huge difference in the color of the light.

Sorry for the NOOB question, but "the city light?" Which one is that?

yea bro get 6k asap. the city light is the little bulb in the fog light area, pull it off i think it will look cleaner. too much light going on. i roll without it right now, just the top projector and sidemarker, or if you wanna keep it, swap it for a white LED.

Nice mods Fellas! Some very unique stuff here. I guess the toughest part is baking the headlight and pulling it apart like that.
