    Thanks buddy! The carbon is from carid.com It's expensive but it covers a lot of the silver/grey parts. I will end up wrapping everything one day down the road. For now I wanted the quickest way to ditch as much silver/grey that wasn't permanent. It is real carbon fiber and it's precut with stickiness on the back. I installed 1 month after I got my truck in 2011 and 2 parts started to loose stick but easy fix. One was removed by a kid on accident. Other then that no fading and looks brand new after all these years. Not my number 1 choice but it does the job for now.

    Right on. Well, like I said, I'm gonna give the wrap another go around so I'll keep this in mind as a back up. I like how it covers the door hand panels and the area around the gauge rings.

    Thanks, They work pretty good but they are a bit jittery. Seems like the bulb or the projector is hopping a bit. Pretty sure its the bulb so I'll fix that tomorrow. Light output is great. And there is no way in hell these Mini DS2 3.0's are plug n play. I had to shave my headlights way down to make it all fit.

    No shit on the twinsies. I saw this pic in your build thread and giggled because other than the head lights this is what my truck looks like.

    It is clean. The lights behind it need to go. LED bar in the lower.
