Bat's overlays with flat black Axis Shines
Crap quality but you get the picture, figured I'd share. Just a lil something. Rest of the mods are sitting in the garage waiting for better weather.

For front and rear overlays is was about $30. I have to admit, it took him far longer to ship them out then expected but he did keep in contact.
The headlights are actually painted, I had them done by Lightwerkz which is located in NJ. I opted for them because they were within driving distance, so I could drop them off and pick them up, saving on shipping time and cost. They did a great job for a very reasonable price. Ive since disconnected the LEDs, did it just to see if I'd like it, not feelin' em, don't go with my overall look.

Actually powder coated. I originally had them with their original finish, on my Chrome Silver 04 but the lip became pitted due to salt corrosion. Would have been to expensive to refinish them so I powder coated them flat black. Flat color hides virtually any imperfections, black is much harder to keep clean tho. If your lip is still in good shape, I'd say powder coat the spokes flat black and keep the polished lip, that'd look great!

I have Tanabe NF210 springs (1.25"), along with rear Ichiba rear chamber kit. Still contemplating new shocks or keeping them stock. Ive been told I don't have to roll the fenders but I can't see how I can get away with not doing it.

i wouldnt think you would have too. Tanabe's are probably what im going to be going with too. Tokico hp's are very nicely priced and work great with 1 to 1.5 inch drops. Probably the way im going to go as well. post up some pics when you get it done. How big are your tires on the back?

Thats so ghetto. Im deathly afraid of crackin the paint or heating it up too much, which would cause the paint to run. Im not an idiot, I, fairly handy, but its very risky... ehhh.
