GL. Can't wait to see them.

Love the sig BTW. When they posted that up, I couldn't stop laughing especially when Frank got them spinning.

have the lights completely out and cleaned. Second guessing the idea of tinting them black. Part of me is saying leave them stock because they are near perfect. Other part says do it. Im not second guessing my ability to do the mod, that should be easy. I just dont know if i want to do this. Input? Suggestions?
I like tint on the tails. I would order Lamin-x, if you don't like it or sell your car you can always take it off without worry of wrecking your tails.

The Ronal Teddy Bear rims are classic! There used to be a chick in town that rocked them on a pink ford probe

Do it, but be careful. I paid someone to do mine, he first sprayed them with vht niteshades and afterwards threw some clear on it, when I went to pick them up it had this orange peel effect, so he is still working on them trying to wetsand it down. Problem is that with just the spray tint it gave a flat non-glossy look, so he overdid it with the clear thus getting to much on causing the orange peel.
