Still waiting on my AUT eyelids to complete the look. Enough of my jibber jabber...I know you guys want pics so here they are with a few more shots with my new wheels...

Special thanks to Nitrouz for helping me put these bad boyz on, John @ Victory for hooking up the lights, & of course Dan (Mr.Zipps) for an outstanding job as usual!

James, how much did Mr. Zipp charge you for the black housing? Can that be done witht he 03 headlights?

sorry, i guess it's just a pet peeve or something haha.

Hmm? It may look good if you have wheels to match but I still think color-matching it MB would still look the best.

Hey Vince...they are actually Dark Gray (per title) & I'd contact Mr. Zipps directly for pricing. He posted his info on this thread so you can either PM or email him. Yes you can also do this with the 03-04 headlights but the only difference is that you won't be able to paint behind the primary bulb since the 03-05 headlights are a reflector/projector hybrid & needs that area to be reflective.

Submit a request to do this under the Photoshop section. I think it'll look really clean.

As mentioned above, I put them up for sale now for locals.

Lip specs:

19x9.5 +17 = 94mm (3.7") lip
19.10.5 +18 = 125mm (4.9") lip
