yes i did them myself with the help of some friends. it took forever and a lifetime! oh my goodness but overall the quality is good. i f'd up one wheel but its not too noticeable. just got to be careful and make sure you dont get paint on the rubber cause i have some paint on my wheels and its makes the wheel look dirty

car looks good, but i think the headlights look out of place, like they not suppose to be on the car, i think it would look much better with the stock headlights painted black or if you really want something diffrent check out the people that retrofit the stock headlights with projectors. nice car thou, very clean

rrd the tails are the black ones from rrm

egydude thanks for the feedback but i kind of like the look of the projectors on the car better. i have considered stock headlights black as well but then it'd be a little hard to run my HIDs w/o blinding the hell out of people. also i've looked into retrofitting projectors in them but it is just too much time/effort that i dont have and want to do so i like the blackness of the housings i have now without having to do all the baking and hacking up of stock headlights cause i'll most likely break them

thanks for the love on the car man but no the ones from RRM come with the chrome around the ring. I've ordered 2 sets from them cause the first set got messed up when I was rear ended so from my experience it comes with the chrome around the lights

lmao i was kind of curious myself when he told me the story cause im like... the wings just dont break on their own... but apparently he put his hand on the wing and balanced on it or something and it just fell into itself... but yeah i just took the light from the wing and some how made it work in the cabin. its really ghetto but i had to do something

If my brother did that to my car, I would no longer have a brother.
