Thanks everybody.
It's hard to tell from my original pics, but the old paint was really beat. I had a half dozen dings and dents from top to bottom, most around the door line. The old paint had almost 500,000 miles on it, although it hung in there pretty well it had taken it fair share of abuse. Now you need to be 6" from the car to find it's flaws, instead of being able to see them from 16'. LOL I need to figure out what I'm going to do with the headlights still...tails I'll probably pick up tomorrow from MI.

That prep makes me cringe. You get what you pay for.

Wow, you have an amazing ability friend...you can visualize the unseen. That's day 1 & 5 of around 12.
If you knew how much I paid you'd realize I got A LOT more than I paid for. ;)

Some type of HID projector setup, I don't think I want to retro fit these ones because they've seen a lot of road time. The tails I picked up for about 30 bucks here. The passenger side has a leak and each one has a corner chipped off. The previous owner opened them up and kind of botched the re-seal so I opened them back up and blacked out the background, masked the covers and edged both with a few coats of tint spray to cover the ugliness. They are only slightly less ugly now...but were a test for me to determine whether or not I like them and I do so they served their purpose. They're fine from a distance and at night and whatnot, but they stick out like a sore thumb now. I forgot to get a hold of Jeff @ MI earlier...I'm going to email him real quick about those tails.

![]() Weird about the tails though; definitely can't see it in the pics. I've debated grabbing some of the ebay projectors.. . . but there's a lot of mixed reviews on them haha. I just don't know if i can justify $160 to get a product that works for a month and then goes:
