Handled that nasty discolored window trim - the vinyl treatment will work for now.

looking good!

Thanks dog! My plans next are painting the grill and rear valence paint match gloss black, and modding the sh@@ out of my headlights.

The current aftermarket stuff as far as headlights go totally sucks, and my certified preowned warranty only covers mostly drive-train now ... so .....

My adaptive headlights are coming out and getting totally revamped - guaranteed to look just sick.

All this will/should be done by fall. Here's the grill all done up in gloss black - THANK YOU PAINTCRAFTERS!



Headlights yanked out for surgery.

I've been noticing where the license plate is at ... kinda ugly...I may have to get a filler plate (plate delete) and then re-mount the plate really really low. Talked to Erv in parts and he said part #8E0807287C1QP should work ... $88 for the "cheap" one. A hide-away license plate bracket would be cool start at $50ish... motorized ones are going for $120+...(cool but ouch!)

The grill turned out great! The LEDs in the headlights do need some more work though. I just don't want to get into it without having the right tools (still need to get my plastic welder back). They are pretty cool now, but once I get that welder back I will be able to get them looking killer and a lot brighter. I am planning on tear them apart again in a month or two so I can rework them a bit.

Lights off:

Redoing the LEDs in the headlights - I need more brightness out of them.

The issue had to do with the LEDs being mounted at an angle so I'm constructing some mounting rails:

One done ... one to go!









Much much better. Almost looks OEM!



I actually disabled the bumper LEDs before the first drive. It was way too much.
May just wire a switch for them or something no idea what to do.
