thanks man. the shop took a grip of time but the paint is glass. Pictures do not do it justice. everywhere I go the first thing people comment on is the paint and bodywork. fitment was very important to me.

That was just a pic I found online. Actually got the combo from some chick that works for a company here locally in the LA area. I think the combo was 100 or something.

Your paint and body work looks amazing but now your wheels don't flow with the sport style of that Vertex kit. To make it look right you're gonna have to ditch the chrome/polish and go for something with low offsets and fat lips.

nahhhhhhhh... probably not. I appreciate the input but that look doesn't work for me. I dig the chrome. I will probably re do the wheels and change out the barrels and lips but will stick with the same face. There Lsportlines!

So I got the headlights wired now, they look amazing. Still have tons of stuff to do but seem to have no time to get anything done. Need to install all the audio equipment still and the remote start and the door window visors. Hopefully I can get all this done soon and then I want to take some really awesome pics. BTW anyone in the area of Inland Empire, So Cal have anyone they use for wheels, I want to change out my barrels and lips on my wheels.
