I'll train myself this year to make sure I don't need the rear wipers.
I've always wanted to blacken out my 03-05 lights.
But now that I have my CF hood back on, I think the lights would look 'too much'.

If I were you and paid good money to have leather seat covers installed I would be pissed if they came out looking like a lazy boy recliner. There's no way I would be happy with the way those look and I don't see how they would have tightened up with all that extra material.

to be honest with you i really didnt pay attention. umm after i painted it, i change out my bulds to 12000k. and they look bright to me. stock HID that is and the low beams are projectors anyways. but it did kill the output for the high beams though. it dont really bother me at all cause i dont use them what so ever but i am gonna change them to HID just because i want to. hope this helps you decided whether or not to black yours completely out or not.

that is a good thought. Sure wished I thought of using zip ties instead of hog ring. I surely would've saved me a bunch of time and would be 100 times easier. Good thinking empiredude!

No I did the install myself. They are based out of Oklahoma. I ordered the and it took about 20 days for them to fabricate and shipped out to me depending on the leather. They will also send you samples of the leather and color of your choosing. They ain't really cheap though. I think I paid almost 600 or around that after shipping cost but well worth it cause you get to customize your color and type of leather and how it's made yourself. Trust me after you get them on you will be satisfied and your whip will be smelling like brand new leather again!

I say a between maybe a 6. Well it really was not hard at all for me. The first seat took the longest cause I was trying to figure out what I was doing but I found that if u take the foam padding off the seat bracket, it is a lot easier and if u use zip ties like empiredude suggested, the process will go by a lot quicker. The only part that scared me is the fact that I have to cut a slits for the head rest post and the recliner **** on the back of the passenger seat. I just made small cuts at a time till they were just right and to ensure they were not too big. As long as u follow their instruction on their website and patient and not rush thing through, u are golden! U can also hit me up here if u need any help if u choose to order some!

Well the projector lens on mine are reflective. I mean you can see it reflect every time light hits it. I'm from California and planning to move back there as soon as I get orders to San Diego. I plan on leaving it the way it is legal or not. Haha really don't care
