Finished the wheels over the weekend. Next weekend will be lowering, then following week headers/cam. Should be fun!

looks good....now pick up some 06/07 center caps off ebay and lower it.

only complaint is it looks like you used VHT Nightshades on the tails.....never been a fan of the look or how its held up over time.

if he did he could just put a few coats of clear on there, wet sand and it will look perfect.

Looks good. Sounds like you have a bunch of fun projects planned. The week after you should do clear fogs.

I used the nightshades on mine and they were cloudy like these look to be...Like said above, 2 coats of rattle can clear and a little wet sanding and they look professional

Looks awesome, but you gotta do something about those tail lights. Clear coat them or something.....

Dang, that IS dark! Can hardly tell it's also very shiny, too. I like it!



(Front sidemarker lenses need attention, though. )
