Default A few mods completed...

I finally made the switch to halos with the halo mod. A big improvement over stock! I'll get further shots later. It was rainy when I took these.




I've also been testing out our new exhaust plate LED light strip for a while now. They'll finally be ready to ship out this week. These things turn heads! I asked a few local guys about what they thought and they loved them.


The red on the tips is from the halos.



Before halos. Ignore my crooked exhaust (right after header install). As you can see in the pics above they've been fixed


Somehow between my hectic schedule I was able to tint a local Corvette owners truck tails. They came out much better than I thought they would! They took a lot of labor to get this good.

Nice JW. I've been debating on getting Halo's and then tinting them for some time. Nice look man.
OK and where did you get the Punisher Plate? I've been looking for a metal decal for my front fender but I can't find any!

Thanks.

That's C5 Jake. I made the plate myself. I bought a blank exhaust plate and had a vinyl decal made.

Looks Good JW! Glad you had time to work on your own for once! I've been debating the halo mod myself. Maybe this winter.
