Where at?

I always wanted black wheels with red striping, Tenzo's infact but I can't afford new wheels period. Otherwise I would get those, or A-Specs.

How long did it take? Did you remove the bumper?

no i didn't remove the bumper all i did was take both wheels off and take the 2 screws that are screwed to the bumper off on both sides ,then the 2 bolts that are on each side when you pop the trunk then just barely pull down (gently) and you can access the bolts holding the light to the car, very very easy to do and you don't risk scratching the bumper. The lights took me around 3 hours to do and that was good coating on the clear pieces, maybe around 3 coats and then cleaning, cleaning, cleaning and then sealing with epoxy in minimum areas and then put a bead of black silicon around the whole light. i know sounds like a lot but VERY easy to do if you have patients..

by the way there is a DIY if you wanna follow that.

I also did my headlights and tinted, ZKW, Phillips 85122+ light bulbs
