I worked on and finished one side of my led tail lights.


And here is my terrible soldering.


I'll throw some pics of them light up tonight... Hopefully...

Well, fixing the door bushings/pins totally screwed up my lazy method of running wires to the switch (for those lights on the bumper) The door closing tightly for a change cut right through one of the wires and burned out the 25amp fuse. I guess this is a good excuse to wire things up correctly.

Here are the pictures of my exterior and interior colors. I am planning on doing black out or green/black but don't know yet. Any colors you think I could go let me know.

Took mine to muffler shop to get a Magnaflow put on that my brother-in-law was gonna give me only to find out they were gonna charge me enough for a new one to install because of all the pipe work due to the fact that it was straight through and not off- centered. So scratched that plan for today and started the "Big 3" only to get rained out as I was starting the grounds.
