    I know everyone would have liked them much more if I had painted the trim black but I wanted to have a little chrome so they would go with my theme, maybe some day I'll paint them all black.

    Thats a Real compliment to u Omega, bcz its coming from a Pro! I havent seen Ericbla03 post here in a long while.

    Omega IMO the heads dont need to be blacked out completely, but it would look better if you painted the chrome portions next to the grille black and leave the turn signal portions chrome.

    So soon I'll open them again and black them out completely, but can't decide if I let the turn signal part chrome and leave it clear or put the amber reflectors back on, I don't like seeing the bulb anymore but don't know if the amber reflector back on would look good. Help me decide.

    I cant believe no one has brought this up before and I didnt realize it till now, but you have your windsheild tinted? Seriously? Seems Dangerous, and illegal........but im no expert!

    Here in PR its ilegal if the cops measuring thingy says less than 35% all around, cops have measured me at 27% at the windows I have all around, And I'm 20 but I'm really careful when driving and always look everywhere and paying attention to the road, the tint isn't that dark to make it dangerous, but theres some people over here that get 5% all round now thats dangerous.

    Not sure, but in Puerto Rico the laws may not be as strict, I am reluctant to put tint anywhere on my car, but my kids don't like the bright sun, so I will. Just a thought, dawg.

    Makes sense that it's legal but I don't think I would. But that's me. I just had to see if it was true! Good job though and the car looks good.

    Today closed my heads, they are blacked out except the shrouds and turn signal section, amber reflectors were reinstalled, they look 100% better. Can't upload pics since I don't know where is the cable to transfer them

    Your cut off and rotation are like perfect. Makes me wish I went mh1 instead id the md2s which are two dark spots and the driver side rotation is off.
