looks good with the white wheels man, i didn't know how it would be but it looks good with them. i had thought about aftermarket black wheels but i really like the polished look wert has on his too.

They can't get your tuner so they can't copy you there. Although you can't get your tuner any more either so...

Your setup with the depo black headlight and the white painted rims are awesome. I think I am going to do the same for mine, Thanks for the pics!

Thanks a ton... my rims are plasti-dipped white right now, but I will be getting painted white when the money is there. I've had a few things happen that require most of my monies right now...

That's true. Haha. Possibly gonna try my hand at it soon. Need to get some things figured out first.

someday i hope to be there in this respect anyways. how do you keep your wheels clean and polished, cause i know i get a lot of brake dust after a while.

Wert842

iTrader: (3)

Simple. I wash it religiously or I don't drive it. Lol.

turbocharged717

i daily mine. so if i go the polished route i'll be washing a lot more.

Wert842

iTrader: (3)

Nah. I daily mine during the nice days and whenever I go trips and what not. About every 3-4 washes I have to hit them with the polish because of washing it the sealant wears off a bit and grime and brake dust cling to them.

turbocharged717

still worth the extra time to clean though for as good as they look.

Hell ya. I think I'm gonna take a week from this summer and end up re sanding them with 1500 and moving up to 2500 and re polishing them. some spots you can see deep scratches from time to time and it bothers me a bit but it's part of the polished look.

Probably gonna end up making another set of retros and making the headlight shrouds completely black and painting the retro cover white to keep the white and blue theme.

turbocharged717

can you buy retros? or do you always have to make them yourself?

Wert842

iTrader: (3)

You can buy them or make them. A lot cheaper to make them then have someone to make them for you.

plug and play or are they like running hid kits? if it's plug and play style i may get some they look bad ****.

Wert842

iTrader: (3)

They are pretty much plug and play like HIDs.

turbocharged717

i had an hid kit already on my car when i bought it, but one bulb went out and i tried to find bulbs to replace but none of the ones i found had 3 connectors they all had 2. i ended up buying some bulbs that you can plug into that give the look of hid but aren't.
