Had to trim off some extra plastic but nothing major. I painted mine with Krylon Gloss Black spraypaint for plastic etc, about 5-6 coats (because I wanted to empty out the can) and 2 coats of clear.

eBay from a seller named xtremeautosalon but was shipped to me from modifymystang, a little weird but I didn't really mind as long as it came to me. Still waiting on the replacement set to be sent... they gave me a tracking number for the package but the shipping tracker only says that the label has been created and it's been a couple of weeks now... compared to getting them within a week for the original set. I've messaged them about it and so far no response.
They had the best prices at the time but now I'm thinking that it's not even worth it given all this hassle. I'm waiting for the delivery window to be over to enter into another eBay CS resolution because they clearly don't really care about answering messages. I've never had problems ordering things from eBay before.

I'd personally stay away from these lugs I had a set and the caps come off very easy and the biggest issue I had was the key actually cracking on me, I had it welded and it cracked again in a different spot so I just gave up and ran the Muteki SR35 which are comparable in size. Otherwise if you have the funds just get something high quality.

I really wanted something brighter than my halogens, they really light up the area in front of the car like fog lights but don't have the throw of halogens. If you drive a lot on dark unlit highways I'd stay halogen or go HID.
Ill adjust them again later to see if I can make it better. They look good though so I really want to make them work

Thanks! I don't see that many modded ISs here in Ottawa but I got them anyways. I paid like 100-150 in duties? I don't remember

Finally got my replacement set of Project Mu lugs in and installed. Locking overkill with both McGard and P.Mu Heptagonal lugs. I plan to remove the McGard lock as well as I don't need that much protection on my wheels plus it'd look better, but I lost my lock key so I'm waiting on a new key to be delivered.
I like the new look. First steps away from the monochrome black and silver look which I still really love but wanted a change.

Installed redouts on my taillights today. Probably needs 2 or 3 more layers since it's still amber up close. Perhaps this brand is too light compared to everyone else's as the DIYs all have 1 layer installed. Oh well, from afar it looks red.

Got new spark plugs after finding out through flowrider that the eBay plugs were pretty likely counterfeit. Also got a new lip in the mail today, and I'll apologize to CL that I've joined the dark side and got an eBay replica lip(Wald rep I think). I know the bad rep about replica lip fitment and the ethics of it but I couldn't justify spending 1k on a lip.
just quickly put it up against the bumper to see how it'd look.
