    Just figured I would throw my progress pictures up from over the past 2 months.. Feed back is welcome.

    Current state for h2o




    It looked like this


    Then got some new shoes


    Then got the paint




    A few more changes before h2o and it will be ready

    If you're thinking of doing a ZKW projector retrofit, you're on heroin. If you're thinking of bolting BMW lights up to where your GTI lights sit now, you're on poor quality heroin.

    Thanks, I got them for 75 bucks, they are 17x8.5 and they're from a 94 Pontiac slp firehawk. Apparently there was like 500 of them made that year, I thought they would look pretty good
