Yeah I have a sound clip I was just listening to it and it doesn't do justice at all but I will upload it.

The wrinkle looks good in the pictures but trust me I over sprayed and it looked like ___. Sound clip to come.

Red Paint from Summit Racing. For the hardwire you need to get a pigtail from Amazon.com for the Garmin GPS. Then follow the DIY for the Valentine Hardwire. There is a ground and a power line. Connect the power line to the sunroof controls with a t-tap from Radio Shack.

Bump. I sold my car. I had custom painted my headlights and I want to share with the community. I didn't show these pictures before cause I didn't want copiers. LOL sorry guys. But I blacked out the headlight turn signals with thick poster board paper and painted the outside white to match the headlights.. Taped off the eyebrow and painted the housing white. I dont know if anyone else had done this since I did but I know I was the first when I looked on here.

I think swtckid was the first to do it to 08+ lights. A bunch of people had done it to 05-07 lights prior to that, myself being one of those people.
