Finally pics of work done!!

I'm finally able to put up some pics of the ongoin process... painted the wheels, calipers, new LED rear lights and third brake light, Eibach Pro kit, and a thorough detailing. Color is metallic black. Next is getting the interior re-upholstered in red.
Got the courage to do the wheels from DJomlas..

The rear LED'z make the look of the car. Probably the best add-on I've done/ Really updates the look, and they look so nice at night. Thank you for the compliment, and sorry for the big pics. I added them with TINYPIC.com, but they still came out big.

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get the tail lights from and how much were they?

Probably a dumb question, but what year is your Box? The finish looks wonderful---what products do you use on it (paint cleaners, clay, polishes, waxes, etc.)? I have a '01 (seal grey), and the paint still looks nice, so haven't done much (wash and wax, basically, as well as cleaning brake dust off wheels fairly often). I hear people talking about claying their cars routinely (annually, anyway), but I have read that clay should only be used to remove paint overspay (only from one source, admittedly). Any thoughts? Anyone?

BTW, I kind of like the big pics...don't have to go searchin' for my reading glasses!

Mine is a '99, and with the lights it looks newer, atleast I think. I just had it dteailed with 3m compound on the wheel, then wax, and sealer. Being a black car, it had alot of swirl marks, but they are all gone. I have to touch up the wheels, and hit them with 2 coats of clear still. I got the rear LEDz from ebay. They came in all red like mine, or smoked. If I remember correctly, they were $245? Need some clear front lights now.
