Commitment issues bro? Plasti-dip and temporary tattoo's is something I put in the same category. They'll look good black. If you like black wheels (like I do) you will be happy with the results. What color is your car?

Just the rims and stripes are dipped.

If you want satin rims tire shine then wipe them clean, for gloss use the foam no wipe.

I'm confused...what does the KKK have to do w/ some being clean, and since when does something being clean mean that it's stupid?

Now That would be stupid. Anything that is tinted on a car compromises the intended usage of it. That being To see and be seen.
When I see a car w/ either tinted head or tails, I just ram into the guy and tell the cops I couldn't see him.

@5ohAlex Very nice vert bro! I think they'll look good black on your car. I wouldn't get black covers, go get yourself some smoked ultra clear lenses if you have the $$. They're darker than they look. Check'em out.

Hopefully @5ohAlex has thick skin. His first week here at Stangnet has been interesting but he's dealing well with it IMO. Others needed a hug from Mom by now and a speech from her about how special they still are even though the mean internet kids said he wasn't.

He has them installed in normal headlight buckets so the light is reflected into incoming traffic.

Lol. Don't mind us..... most of the time we don't filter what we say, we mean well.

Consider it Internet shop talk. Just have to leave your feelings at the door or inevitably they will get hurt.

Do feelings have feelings?
.... don't care....

but you know that it is blinding oncoming traffic. put the stock 9004 bulbs back in or spend the money to do a proper LED retrofit.
