    After 2 years finally pulled the trigger and gave my girl a face/butt lift. :D

    3in Pro comp lift
    Pro Comp UCAs
    285/70R17 Pro Comp AT Sport
    17x9 Pro Comp 7032 4.75in BS
    Spyder CCFL Halo headlights Black
    Spyder LED tail lights black
    Spyder smoke fog lights
    CG black 3rd brake light
    Grill and rear bumper Rustoleum black spray
    New 15% tint

    Love the way she turned out. Tools me a while to figure out how to wire the head lights but that's only because I'm a retard and didn't see the instructions on the bottom of the box. Haha

    Here's a few pics. I'll get some more this weekend when we got the mountain.

    Thanks man. They need to be adjusted yet but definitely better looking for sure. Tail lights are my favorite I think.

    Looks great. The real question is what's next to help the girlfriend thin out the wallet.

    Thanks. I had a little overspray when I did it but it's fine. Easy to overdo it though so I think it's important to do multiple coats even if it's for that reason alone.

    I bought all of them from CarID. All Spyder products except the 3rd brake light which is CG I believe.

    Not sure I can post links here so if this against the rules let me know.

    How do you like those headlights? Are they bright enough? I seen a set for sale on the FB and was curious how they perform? Look badass

    I love the look of them. And they light up the road just fine. Only complaint I have is that from inside the cab at night it almost appears they aren't even on. When you look at them from the outside they are super bright but it's a bit deceiving while your driving. I assume this is because they are black smoke instead of just smoke or chrome smoke. I've turned them off whilst driving and it's definitely noticeable when they are on. Just odd from the inside compared to regular lamps

    Overall they are great. Just takes some getting used to. Hope that makes sense.
