yes painted the rims myself

just remove your old rear springs,remove the isolator from the top,then install water hose
over your springs

I had 7% tint but I got a ticket so instead of paying 150$ I just removed it

I liked the old halos too especially at night but the quality of the headlights sux its hard to adjust cause of the cheap material so I just swapped over the good clear lenses from the halos over to my old gm headlights
