Are your saying you have to bake & crack open the headlights to remove the HID Ballast and socket??

Looks good, I love the LED strip in the 2011 headlights. Just wish there was a way to actually turn off the AFS light.

Looks great! The 295s in the rear shot looks amazing. Any rolling needed?

I own a house in downtown St. Petersburg, MO charges personal property taxes for our cars as well as requires inspections and emissions testing. Well, the emissions testing won't fly on the ISF so licensing them in MO is a definite no-go. Also, FL plates look baller.

Yeah. When I had my car at a shop for something else, they rolled my rear fenders for me. I have to be really turning hard to get them to rub. So for the most part, no issues.
