Did some dressing up of the looks of my ride, nothing to flashy just cleaning up the look a bit and making it stand out a little more.

First I did the tint, 5% all around, except windshield, gonna try that as soon as I have time to work on my car again, see if that dot matrix doesnt make it look like crap, crossing fingers on that one.....













here are some more pics if you are interested.....

then I added these.....














I am gonna be getting the chrome bulbs that flash amber so that it cleans up that clear look completely.

For more go here.....http://surfnsocal.com/gallery/clear-turn-signals

Next thing is to wash the car...lol!

here are a couple of customer cars we tinted, this is a 06 V6 with 20% all around.....















CL600 5% all around.....

here is a step by step on how to install the clears, it is real easy, although the inner clip is pretty tight and takes some work to get the lights back in, well at least without removing the bumper.....

1)unscrew 3 screws in wheel well




2)pull back wheel well shield


3)unclip lens from 2 white clips and slide out of slot on the inner part of bumper


4)unplug bulbs from lens and remove lens


5)replace bulbs w/ amber (I will eventually replace w/ chrome bulbs)




6)plug bulbs back into new lens


7)slide new lens back into place, first into the inner slot and then onto the white clips (please forgive the dirty car, its due to the rain that day)

youll love the sequentials they really are a cool feature, youll get a lot of people checking them out when you change lanes and make turns

thanks everyone I also think that these are subtle yet real nice ways of making the car stand out, I just got my 4.10s in the mail and chrome dif cover and I cant wait to have them installed as well as my H&Rs.

nice robello! The dot matrix should be ok, I have a visor on my windshield and it came out fine.
