little update,


Put in some Phillips bright white 194 LEDS to help refresh the front. In previous vehicles i've put in other no name brand bulbs and they always turn out either blueish or flickering after awhile.

Decided to polish up the tail pipe as they had some soot buildup.


I used a bit of steel wool with some rubbing compound. Followed up with some polish. Only took about 10 minutes


I threw on some rim tape. I know a lot of guys think its tacky but I personally loved how it turned out. I may down the road powder coat the rims but I'm happy with how it looks right now. I also polished up the Y pipe/muffler as little bit as it was looking pretty crusty.


Went to pick up my R1 OEM decals today. They were steep @ $50 for both sides but I really felt like I was missing a big part of my theme without it.
