good look. i like the bolts polished. i thought about putting lyk 2 or 3 lil studs in my rims btween every spoke to giv it a 2 piece look but i thnk imma leave it as a thought. and as for the lights it depends on where u get em from. each company that sells HID's their colors are sometimes very different. also u have to consider that a lot of lights color shift after about 2-3months of constant use. so they may get a deeper blue or purple. but it rly depends on where u get em from.
BTW here's a lil update on my lights...i finally got HID fogs but after i tinted my lights so the headlights are still 10000K and the fogs are 8000K but with the tint they look green. it lokks so vicious at nite
