Well hopefully mine will go longer than that. I put some work into them for sure! I think I have about $35 bucks in it between paint and other supplies needed. Beats spending $400+ on new rims.

I got some seat covers too. They're from Mopar and are $25 each
They fit really snug to the seats. I've had plenty of people ask me "Where did you get those custom seats made at?!"

Yeah, I know... may do projectors later... but this is what I could afford for now... just couldn't abide with the stock sealed beams anymore

These still have a 35w power draw, but are supposed to be much brighter than halogen

Why? What Happened to the ones that were on it? I mean, I saw that you ordered new ones, but you didn't always have 31's on it did you?


back on topic.... pulled out of the driveway in my wife's car and looked in the rearview mirror as it pitifully looked back at me from its spot in the driveway.... heart sank a little... STUPID HIGH GAS PRICES!!!!
