Eh just getting condensation in there. Ever since I got the car in November they've been going out like every 3 weeks and they're all corroded but this time the base of the bulb actually melted on one side. Gotta wire everything up when I get home and it should be good.

My front signals kept burning out every time it rained, or went through a touchless car wash... fkn crack in the lenses. I ended up getting a few new lenses now I just have to put them in. But they are getting VHT before they go on. Sorry for hijacking, just had to vent about my signal issue...

I put night shades on mine and they look pretty good. I did F*ck up one side but its not that bad I just have to fix it. Just make sure you do like 4 Really light coats, and wait atleast 10 minutes between coats otherwise the paint looks like ****.

Good to hear man. Hopefully I will see you around. There is another red camaro with black rims running around out there. First time I seen him (on 45 too) I thought it was you but it was a 93 to 98-02 conversion with SS emblems.

He had no headliner, had a cutout and he had BGF-KDW on the front AND BACK
