Oh thats whats up.

I like the look. I probably would have went with a semi gloss, but this is really nice and give an idea of what it would look like. Props to you bro.

Why? Besides the somewhat high price, they do really nice work and have excellent reputation with various communities.

Pics of fog lights coming soon, it's raining today so couldn't get pictures taken. Hopefully these pictures offer you a better look. If anyone has a better idea how I could remove the glare from taking photos, please let me know. I just use a Canon Powershot SD550 Digital Elph.

Also my concern with the amber sidemarker still showing through is no more. I removed one of the fuses under the hood and it shuts off all parking lights which are just the sidemarkers and the wedge inside the highbeam. Looks a lot better.

FYI, not having amber visible on vehicle fronts are actually illegal and can be fined. So I've been warned.

that looks great . . . i just wish it wasnt such a pain in the *** to do it. I live in an apt complex and dont really have the room, etc to do this. Any idea of how much maybe a shop would charge?
