halo projectors, lota ppl dont like it because of the bubble where the fog lights are they come black housed and chrome, for u sinceu got that black and red theme going id say black housing would b better...plus the halo's are more visible on teh black housed ones. mine barely see it cause of the chrome,

but ye i dont mind them, there alrite still, good light output, gona put in hid's soon so should be good.

thusee you should have stripped the rims and scuffed em. after awhile they will chip and flake, cause its not adheiring properly.

or you prolly dont care lol cause they were just practice?

lol im probably gona sand blast em all and redo it, when i was mounting the tires to the rim it started to flake a lil so i was careful not to scratch anything, but ye im probably gona sand blast cause i luv this color on these rims, a whole lot better than the original silver makes it look more aggressive,
im gona add a lip kit so i dont wana slam it to much nex thing u no the speed bumps meet my lip.....
last year i was slammed like 2 inches off the ground friggin ruff ride didnt like it to much.

so ye i like this drop and it rides smooth still, just gota get the front camber kit. if anyone has or knows any good places not to expensive let me know need em soon before the road eats up my generals.
