Welcome!

I like the wheels and the rear emblem but I'm not sure how I feel about the "UV LED" reverse lights. Are they brighter or are they just purple looking? Plus you should have taken out the orange diffuser in the headlights.

But overall not a bad start! Keep on doin' work

Yeah the reverse lights blow as far as light output.. they were on clearance from v-leds when I ordered my tag lights haha and on the headlights I couldn't find an amber signal bulb to black them out completely or I would've. Plus I didn't feel like waiting on them to arrive from v-led lol As far as the emblems, just clean them with warm water and mild detergent, air dry. About 2 coats of Dupli-Color Primer then your choice of paint, I used the same paint as I used on my wheels and also the same paint in the headlights. "Dupli-Color Graphite Wheel Paint"
