    ^ the fogs look black, but the coating of nite shade is pretty thin. Almost done with the front end project...

    Black out the heads it would look better that way and remove the chrome around the windows.

    Yeah, everyone keeps telling me to black the heads... I'm feelin it the way they are :P We'll see after the eyelids and grille/mesh are on. As for the chrome I agree completely. Is there anything under then, or can I just pull em off? Do they serve as any type of weather proofing?

    Just pull them off.

    I'd rather have the knowledge and ability to do it than the money to buy it already done.

    X2. I took them off because I have rain guards since I like to keep my windows open when it rain. I say black them out since your gonna have black mesh tinted fogs and tinted tails. If black and white is the theme the heads look weird cleared. Photoshop them and compare see how you like it.

    I'd only black them if I did my grille black, but I'm color matching it :P

    Like I said, wait til I'm done haha. And black and white isn't necessarily the theme, but rather "absence of color", meaning no orange, red, or anything that's not a shade of black grey or white. (clear isn't a color lol) I think it would look wierd to have a white grille with black heads.

    Anyway, better? :



    lol, good suggestion, I like it. I can't just pull off the bigger strips cuz they have rubber attached to them, so I don't think it'd be wise to just strip those off haha.

    The lower chrome strips actually keep water out of the door so I wouldn't permanently take those off. Alhouth you could take them off by unscrewing them and prying them off from inside while the window is down and paint them.

    That's not a bad idea. Wouldn't cost me a dime either cuz I've already got primer and black paint. Well, I've got my new project haha.

    These are the first set of gauges that I actually really liked. I'm not a big fan of the 3D look of the S7's.

    I took mine out a few weeks ago and they are currently sitting on my pool table. ;)

    EDIT: Except mine aren't AC. They look they same though. If you want I can find a picture when they were installed.

    I have the same ones except there not AC also. Paid like 26 bucks for them and brand new and they already came with the upgraded inverter that Speedhut sells. Also grabbed the CF bezel from Speedhut. I love it! Who needs the S7's lol?!

    Those are the gauges that you can thank Jason for (Prophet) he put up the money for them to produce 100 sets.
