Cool thx. Looks really good. I don't like the amber and I definitely don't like the ridiculous price for a set of clear reflectors. Maybe I'll go this route.

Mr. C, nice job on the headlights. Check the Black Market for a bumper.

Headlights look great. What turn signal bulb are you using? Post some pics with just the parking lights on...I'm curious how bright they are without the reflector being chrome anymore.

^Yes.

I personally think the 07-08 bumper looks great with or without the A-Spec lip.

Looks sick! I need to do the 07-08 front bumper too. I am going to look for one in a junk yard, then it will come with fogs, grille and everything.

my only question is, was it $150 for the bumper, with fogs, grill and painted wdp? or was it primed withougt fogs and grill? because if you paid $150 and it came painted with fogs and grill then that was a DEAL.
