Awesome car!! Are the led lights removable from the bumper to paint? How’d you wire up the leds?

Amazing looking build! Do you have any side view of your car in direct sunlight? I have an obsidian as well, and thinking of going 20% tint all around. The one the car came with is starting to peel on all 4 windows.

Thanks for the compliment! I love my car even after so many years, despite being one of those people that tend to get bored quickly with vehicles. Yes, the lights are removable, but the 'box' is part of the PP bumper and they are inserted into drilled 3/4" holes. To make it look more authentic, I didn't paint that area around them - They are called "EagleEye" LEDs, 23mm. I just wired them together and reused the fog light connector.

This is the only picture I have available - taken before paint. 20% carbon tint all around. My best advice is to pay for quality tint - $200 difference will mean less heat and damage to the interior, and it won't fade or peel over time.

Is your window trim vinyl wrapped?? I like the look - my car is also obsidian and I'm thinking about having it wrapped in gloss black
