By the way never saw the HID pics lol
Lol i knew i was forgetting something! Tonight i promise some! I actually had to fix my HID's like three times. First time I pulled them out because they needed capped(used the aluminum foil trick), second because i cut the housing and they were set too far in and now i finally have them working perfectly fine. Before i had a large amount of dead zones

Looks awesome, how did you do that with a foam roller? I need to do some body work and painting on my car and was worried about using a paint gun because that is not one of those things you want to rent lol. Did you just apply the paint and then sand/buff and reapply until the desired result like wood finish? I would really appreciate some pointers or links on how you performed your paint job because it looks awesome.

I just felt like doing something uncommon and for $150 it isnt a bad deal. Also, the wheels are my favorite part
