Might as well scrap em. Being a full time engineering student doesn't leave my pockets with spare change often.

Thanks though!

There was someone on here selling a set of the black tails, not sure if they are sold.
And we have had a few people try to separate the factory headlights, but the type of sealant seems more resistant to heat than most. If you do pull it off, please let us know.
I have Canuck Motorsports springs on mine, but the rear didnt drop as much as the front, Im waiting to hear back from them about a possible correction.

Hey judge-don't give up. Shipping on the rims with no tires may not be as bad as you think. Free + shipping may not be a bad deal....

my dad is borrowing it to go to kern this weekend so ill be splitting them the weekend after that so i will let you all know.i have a few tricks up my sleeve ive done it to a ton of different vehicles.

and judge i do have a buddy that gets discounts through fedex.i just shipped my 20x10 xd diesels which were almost 50lbs each to new jersey and i think it was 140 for all four.so for these i'd assume probably like 60ish

finally bit the bullet and found the lowest drop i could find for these things i think.we'll see if it settles nicely or if im going to have to either custom build something or get a custom kit of some sort

Man from where it started to where it sits...I'm impressed. You've done a lot to it in just a short amount of time. I'm really thinking hard about doing a full drop on mine. I've got the rear Cobalt springs on order to level it out so I'll see how that looks first before I drop 3+ bills on full suspension upgrade.

definately more happy with it now.the front sits 1/8" higher than the rear but once it settles it'll be perfect.

also got the windows blacked out

now to what i did this weekend.
installed fogs. accidentally ordered 3000k Instead of 5000k so they are yellow



in this pic they look like straight beams but in person they light up everything around u. all signs become yellow. so annoying


next up im thinking of pulling the headlights. pulling them apart and blacking out the background and also removing the orange in the headlight. and also getting 5000k bulbs to match the headlights instead of the yellow
