Hmm, I think I'd lean more towards the 5-spoke. The 6-spoke is just a bit too "sporty" for this particular case.

Back to black!
I re-dipped my wheels, but this time I used DYC's new product, called "Top coat'. Which is basically a really glossy top coat that you can spray over any type or color of plastidip to give it that paint gloss finish and be shiny all the time!
I love it.
I did the wheels in black then sprayed the gloss over.
Same with the grill's outer line, but I sprayed the center part anthracite grey, and then sprayed the gloss over it.
I just need to spray the silver trim on the bumper and sides to match the wheels. But you can see how the grill matches up with the headlights now.

Wrapped up the roof in "3M 1080, G212 Gloss black metallic"
This is a really glossy black and sparkly metallic too. It is not too black, a little transparent if you look really closely.
The car looks like it has panoramic sunroof now. Way better than the normal gloss black vinyl.
Happy with the results.

Finally finished adding the extra halo on the LS430 projector. Got twin halos now, one on the D2S one on the 430.
Also added a small LED on the far corner on the headlight housing. Since I painted the headlights black, and my car is a dark colored, at night my car looked like it was a UCF30, or a 2001-2003 version before the facelift. Because of how the headlights blended in with the fender, it really looked like the older headlights. so I had to change that.
So now this LED in the far top corner lights up the housing of the headlight and displays it appropriately in it's full size.

Also mounted the harness fuse box correctly and made everything look OEM and tidy.

Absolutely on the halo's being further back covering the whole shroud, but I couldn't get a clean OEM look doing it, so I went with the outer circle of the lens.
I did forget to mention that I have won the "Retrofit Of The Month" this past month, my car is on top of the website ;D
