I really like your tail-lights! looks like you did a good job on everything but i don't like the black badges. just my opinion, nice mod. It looks like your already going for the "blackout" on your front rims....lol

I actually got antsy and pulled off my fogs tonite, and painted them...I used painters tape as an expierement where i knew I would be painting and it lifted the "chrome" riiiiight off. So i just stuck every piece to my shirt and then taped the fogs...actually had zero chrome lifts...like I said, tomorrow the rims/calipers are gonna get done so I'll have pics of it all thursday evening probably

Need2cruz-i don't like the black badges. just my opinion
I was skeptical myself and I originally planned on getting the white inlays but once I painted them black I took a step back and to me they looked awesome...but I always like to hear peoples opinions good or bad!

You just need to get a chrome cap so you can roll around interceptor style.

I sanded them down. Then applied 3 coats of Duplicolor self etching primer. Then 4-5 coats of Rustoleom high performance wheel paint....I did not clear coat because I want the flat look. I hope im good with that decision in the long run...chips, brake dust etc.....

wfburton...Ill get some more pics up tonight, tomorrow morning at the latest
