hey whats up dude...about the wheels yeah in pics they dont look that great. In person theyre much nicer...several people have told me that in the pics it doenst look nearly as good as in person. The parking lights youd best be asking jdmmax on the org about them, hes the one that did them for me. I just read ur post on the grille good luck with that..if you ever figure it out be sure to post on the org.
