i know i can get them off easy since they are only 3 bolts each and took mine off this summer to paint them.

the yards ive called that have them want around 35 each which is more than im willing to spend on some used ones that will be in questionable condition. they run 40 smooth and 50 textured on lmc so im gonna keep looking and when i get them youll be the first to know haha
you can get them for like $20 from certifit

Thanks guys i means alot.

few updates.

1. got my tails checked out at the PD and im good to go minus the fact that im alittle hard to see during the day but im gonna look into some new bulbs.

2. I need to get a new third brake light because the lens has cracks all along it and didnt show up till after i shot it.

3. my new heads i ordered came in today, problem is when i opened them up they were chrome like i have with clear corners and not what i ordered. i ordered smoked black ones with clear lenses so i sent the seller and email and im waiting on a response.

yea im looking at next summer maybe going to 17" or 18"s depending on what tire prices look like.

Update on the Heads.

Got a response and they messed up the post for it on ebay and are going to send me the correct ones. I do however have to go to ship the ones they sent tomorrow morning and send them the tracking number before they can ship out the new ones but they are also going to refund the return shipping to me. if all goes well good feedback will be left.
