i know they would look so sick. maybe i'll try them myself but i'd need to get a backup pair first. the whole thing is going to cost a lot.

Nice! I think he should have painted the rest of the chrome around the shroud though.

I know I know. I should mention that they weren't retrofitted for ME lol. He was just selling his own retrofit. There is a bit of moisture that gets in during rainstorms so when I fix that, I will black out all the chrome and that silver strip on the side.

They are a bit brighter than this in real life. It was just taken with a low exposure.

That's why Tony3's doing my retrofit when I'm ready to cough up the money.

Car's looking evil.

Did some more work on the panel covering up the amps

Name: 2012-09-24_19-16-30_884.jpg Views: 45 Size: 143.8 KB

The four holes are spaces for cooling fans. I still need to add in corner pieces to the top left and top right of the panel to cover the whole opening. The piece of MDF I had lying around wasn't long enough to do the whole panel in one piece.
