    I agree. People DO need to be forced to maintain their vehicles to a proper safety standard. I live in PA and while I do agree some of the inspection/emissions rules are a little unnecessary, most of the requirements are well thought out.

    Random question, but what kind of paint is used on the blacked out versions? A buddy of mine used to black out chrome Volvo headlights and after a couple years they would fade in the Florida sun. Yours look like they're WAY better prepped, but just wondering if it's a high temp paint or anything? Either way, I'm going to be ordering soon!

    Bumper is back on but things aren’t all the way hooked up under the hood yet. Gotta get some new harness in from BajaDesigns and clean my bumper cuts up while hunting out a passenger side suspension squeak (ugh), but they’re pretty.

    Cutoffs are razor sharp. I aimed them where I thought was a safe starting point and the projection is crazy. I can still go up a little on aiming and it’s going to be even better. Highly recommended.

    I use krylon fusion. It’s pretty widely used in the retrofit world from what I see. I haven’t seen any fading or discoloration.

    Hey sent you a pm about shipping you those used OEM headlights. Let me know if they’re still possible to get done or if I should just try and tackle it myself.

    Thanks dude

    It’s been a slow couple of weeks while I’ve waited for a big parts shipment to come in. Finally going to be rolling again! Just finished this set up this morning. Retrofit, smoked turn signal cover, and amber drl board.

    Here’s some pictures from a quick mock up I did to show the difference between this and the stock board. I only had two sets of these made, but may get some more if people are interested. I’d be offering them at $100

    Yeah, retro with switchback and halos. I’m just waiting for a cable to come in to fix my fog lights and I’ll be posting some hi res dDLR pics to try and show the light output.

    Only issue I’m having is aiming. Her driveway is angled just a little, and I keep creeping them up a little every few nights. Nobody has flashed their brights at me yet :)
