And the worst thing about the led blinkers is that they dont save any energy since you have to put in resistors to draw the current......

Thanks a lot for the DIY, I understand the hyper-blinking issue now and will probably just go with chrome bulbs instead, much easier.

yea its not too bad, it does look good how it is....it works....its just a matter of opinion with many thin lines next to 3 thick lines

and that's y i didn't suggest going for the billet grill in those areas too (because u already have the LEDs there) unless to billet grill those and find a new way to put the strips on them?

I bought on ebay from this seller

http://stores.ebay.com/UTVproducts?_trksid=p4340.l2563

you can try emailing him.

In the listing it said they do powder coats, I just had to add a note about thAt.

If you found the grille at customtc then It's a more expensive one. On ebay it was $99 + cost of powder coat. on customtc it's 120 i believe and idk if they will be able to paint it for you

haha yeah eBay. ~$120 which is still so overpriced. It should be sold for $50

A'ight I'll get my ___ out of this comfy chair and go outside take some pics



overall it looks like ____ however when the hatch is closed it looks acceptable and covers all your mess. The other down side is that when im in reverse seeing the back wall help to pin point where the end of your car is. With this you cant see the back wall at all, only the window and maybe 1 inch lower
