    I'm curious on what the grille looks like, can't wait to see it.

    You putting those subs behind the seat or in a center console?

    you know thats a good question..i have the boxes already for behind the seat but it would be pretty cool to have a custom center console..I'm looking at getting a 4runner center console maybe i can mold it into that..Thanks now you probably cost me some more money hahaha:waytogo:;)

    Ok i was bored today and decided to try this out..I'm happy with the way they came out just need to straighten the leds a little and order some new side markers.I practiced on this broken one i have,taking off the lens was not too hard as some headlights i have done but here is the R8 Mod..

    I'll post some more detailed pics later but here is the end result so you can get an idea of what it might look like..my crappy camera phone cant take the brightness too well but they are not as bright as it seems.I'm going to hook these up to the running lights..but what do you guys think should i still throw a bulb in there?

    worked on my LED third brake light yesterday, Its an OEM Ford explorer fluorescent brake light, but the ballast broke about 2 years ago, The pic in my sig is what it used to look like. Its been bugging me to do an LED retro fit so i finally started it yesterday, I have most of it done, i'll have it mounted back in the truck with pics later today. Next up are my tail lights!

    i had more pics but my stupid a$$ chinese camera didn't record the pics and the quality sucks too!!:mad:
