I'm debating if I should the the datasystem controller first, or some nice big wheels for my car. What do you think?

Didn't realize until seeing your 2001, but I think the headlamp washers were repositioned slightly more to center of the headlights on the 2004-2005 models. Your's seem really towards the leading edge and to the corners.

Anyway, nice ride !!!!

I actually did that myself. I like the blacked out look compared to the stock chrome housing, and I also painted the emblems to match.

Thanks for the input. Actually, the banner didn't turn out the way that I wanted it too. The curvature of the rear window makes the banner look curved at the bottom, so I'm thinking about re-doing it.

I just baked my headlight for 15-20 minutes in 120F heat, then opened them up, sanded and painted the housing, and baked them again to seal them.
