I am always in between about the tail since the beginning
Not sure

I hear you, I changed my headlights and tail lights about 10 times now to different styles..I am sticking with my current headlights for a while since they cost a lot of time and money...dual projectors on the 07-08 with halos in the DRL section which is now the new projector.

Well one of the big hold ups was that umnitza had the infamous half ring, but they fixed that problem a couple months ago and I really didn't want to reopen the headlights. I am not confident they will work and not fail so I just like to do things right the first time.

Thought I'd post some headlights Bruce did for me.
I couldn't justify paying 100$ for some clear reflectors so I put the money towards some
ZKW lenses and vinyled the orange reflector with 3M 1080 brushed aluminum

You should get some sort of cloud service.
Have your phone auto-upload to a designated folder in the cloud and share it publicly to Azine. Then when you're home post the ones you really want to share on Azine! =]

Thanks Bruce for my new tails! This is my 2nd set from him and his work is flawless. My iPhone5 cannot capture how good these new tails look. And thanks to Rockstar143 for the design inspiration. I love the OEM look of this design.

Did you provide the new set of tails and what year? Is the diffuser removed on that new set?

Thank you all. Yeah Those cdm tails are beautiful when customized.

If anyone has any questions let me know, we can get your car set up with custom headlights/taillights etc.

I have a set of Depo type s tail lights with bezel painted black, $250 plus shipping. They were used for a year or so and traded back by a customer. Sold as is. If you are interested I can send you pictures. I will post some soon. No chipped corners and they're mint.

My favorite look, by far ...and a good price for a set of lights that are already bought and modded. Save some bucks and buy these!

Well the time has come to start uploading hundreds of pictures. I got a new laptop as my other one crashed so I had to re upload everything. About 3-5 different TLs a week with different installs becomes a lot of pictures. My cell phone has over 8k pictures..

Here are a few teasers:
