Im liking everything so far....

I think the best thing about Acurazine is seeing what everyone gets next and does to it.

Just out of curiosity, do you know how big the sways are?

I realize its apples to oranges, but I went from a 17mm "spaghetti-noodle" hollow bar (stock) to a 31mm solid in front. I would assume yours is about that since its a much heavier car.

Yes & it was a complete disaster. I ruined the lights beyond repair. I'm not that good at creative things like that. Actually I suck.

Not a fan of blacked out lights...but it goes double on chargers, challengers, 300s. Just do not like the look. front or back.

Wow.....I kinda like them. The fit is great after I made them fit, they are not ghetto fit for sure. On the fence still. I need to wash the car tomorrow & will take a pic better.
I need to give it a few days before I decide.

Another pic would help-- the pic you have accentuates the size of the trunk and big square hunk of black paint, while the OEM light covers balance off the black paint and act as accents.

I'm on the fence, esp. since your wheels aren't black.

They were to dark.

Smoked or tinted would look better, IMO.

Black outs are about on the same page as clear corners.

I'm glad they were only $25. I'd be really upset if I paid the $70 they usually cost.
