Two questions. Do you raise sea gulls ? And why is there a light on top of the roof ?

lol no, its snow if your talking about the white spots, light for work when we do service calls on the road. Required to run amber lights, or what the boss calls them courtesy lights.

Thanks for clearing that up.
And yes I was just joking.
Please take a picture closer to the wheels, I don't see what you did.

The 18's look good, now maybe paint the brake components..

How is the ride quality in comparison ?

Most definitely needing to paint t the drums, it is much to cold for pai t to properly adhere right now but I will I hate the look in the rear. It rides pretty good but you feel more of the road threw the wheel. I personally like it better that way.

Cool, I used Ceramic high heat paint from Eastwood, www.eastwood.com back when I painted my brake components. I bought a qt, it's brush on, but it levels itself beautifully.
Looks like they were sprayed or powder coated, & that was about 9 years ago & they still look great.

I like the black rims against your blue body color, very striking.
