Today I Plasti dipped my scuffed rims Gunmetal Grey. I think they turned out well, and will be fine until the budget lets me buy their replacements.

I painted my right rear rim with Rustoleum silver (slightly more gray blue than stock), and then hit it with Rustoleum clear gloss. The color is so close it appears the same unless you know it's different. Even then you have to look critically. It make the wheels appear larger which is attractive. I'll do the other three in the Rustoleum if it holds up.

I bought the HID's already completely installed into the lights so install was simply removing the old headlights and sliding in the new ones and locking them in. Whole thing took about 30 minutes because I was running from the computer (youtube) to the car.

I will take a night picture. I drove with them last night and they work fantastic! Really nice wide beam of light. I need to adjust the depth and make sure they are in sync as far as depth of field.
