That's one bright reverse light, love it. So did you rewire the original reverse lights so you have double the signal lights? I'd like to see pics of that. A little too much CF inside for me, but to each his own.

Oh, and what foglight bulbs are you running? I have PIAA yellows and love them.

Looking good. CF mirrors look really good with the brilliant black. CF interior is a little much for me (I think the camera that over exaggerates it, probably looks different in person). That's one hell of a bright reverse light. I like the black lug nuts too, first time I've seen that.

yes, the stock reverse lights are rewired. Check this link out...

Fogs are Luminics. They do the trick for me.

CF > Chrome! Thanks for the opinions tho!

the Black Lugs I got are half the weight of the 4 stock ones I pulled off and a lock one. I weighed them on the postage scale that I just had "laying around".

Now that's a rear turn signal! Nice!

I have a set of Luminics Titanium Whites that are a great match for the stock HID's and I'm thinking about trying their violet colored bulbs as they look like they might be a good match for the 6000K Ultinon bulbs I just upgraded to. We'll see, but they seem to be a pretty good brand.

Dunno about the carbon inside bro.... I almost went down that path. Than i realized its just too much.

Maybe if you take off some of the carbon it will look better.
