That looks really good! Are you trying to go for the black and white look or are you still going to keep some chrome on it? That will help us give you some ideas

FO SHO. I just finished up football tho and I am going to be working 2-3 jobs making some decent money this semester, student teach in the fall, then hopefully start sub-ing in the spring. I can not wait to have a steady pay check from both me and my wife. She is student teaching right now and will start working this fall.

Okay thread jack over...

I like the look you got going. I can't think of anything to add.

I say black wheels and black headlights and then get the door spears color matched. I wouldn't paint them black.

Ebay sells some black lights with projectors but they are really cheaply made. You could take them apart and paint them black or send them to Jeremy and he will paint them and retrofit some projectors in them and they will look amazing :********:

Paint matches up great if not perfect i cannot notice any difference. im not too sure on the price my best friend owns a body shop so we jus ******** and painted them for me. there are downsides to favors though. he kinda half-assed it and didnt scuff the chrome very well so i have a few small chips. but other than that i love it
