Very high attention to detail, i hate the rust in the hub area lol!

As for the red to white, it's really neat! I was actually working on an even brighter set of white LED strips for the bottom of my feet Will probably post it up pretty soon, I've already done the glovebox, just gotta do the armrest and i'm pretty much complete.... Trunk's festoon-to-led conversion has 10x better output brightness, I can now see both sides of the trunk, and at night, if you open up my headrest to like, look at yourself? you'll get blinded by the white LEDs lol.... it's almost like the Tool Time show when Tim turned on them super lights to pluck his nose hairs.

ahhh, just worried for your car We all got nice rides hehehe, last thing i'd want to happen is for the evap or the radiator to lose it's cooling integrity, or when you're takin stuff out, there's overspray under the bumpers (making it look like a touch-up paint job).

Maybe it's just me, i'm a picky person

Rebuilt radiator cores are always spray painted by radiator shops so there should be no problem.

Radiator shops that paint their radiators paint it when paint specifically made for radiators, hence why the outcome of the finish on the radiator (very dull) comes out different than your car (glossy).

I'm not here to argue, just sayin..... It's up to you guys to take it however you like it

BTW, here's to further prove my arguement.
