Update time!
I got my PAC LC-1 installed so I can adjust my sub without having to go through the head unit. So nice to have

I also plasti-dipped my stock wheels so I can have black wheels until I save enough to get the esky wheels I mentioned above. At first I wasn't so sure on the matte finish, but I think it's growing on me.

First I masked off the lugs and centers

Sprayed my first couple coats

RealizedI didn't clean one of my wheels good enough and it started to bubble in one small area. Time to start over!

Took the tape off


And finally put the center caps back on once they dried




Still considering ordering some glossifier from DYC, but I'm happy with the results for now.

HIDs are in! well, kind of. The prongs on the bulb for my fogs are larger than the holes on the harness on my truck, so I will have to mess with it a little bit before I will have them in. I also think I may have a bad ballast (thanks DDM), but it was already after midnight by the time I finished last night and wasn't in the mood to test it.

Anyway, I'm happy with the way the headlights look. I ordered 5000k bulbs and at first I was worried they would be too white, but now I'm thinking I could have even gone with 4300's and still be happy.

I was surprised at how small the ballasts were. Here's a pic next to one of my business cards


Here is a daytime shot with my rigid bar on as well. When I take pictures they look kind of blue, but in person they have a really nice almost-oem HID color to them.


Inside my parking garage (sorry for the sh!tty iPhone pic)


And low beams and rigid at 60ft.

The lows cut off a lot nicer than I expected. The large amount of light in the center is from the rigid. Since I run that when no one is around me, I angled it a little higher.

Now it's time to grind down my 5202 bulb harnesses and test that ballast
