To every one who has been patiently waiting on my pics of my angel eyes, leather retrofit kit off of ebay and my seat heaters also off of ebay.
Yes some of the things may look a little bit rough but i did all these mods myself thats why they look the way they do :D

Ya the switches were supposed to be level but it was late (2am) and i was tired and then i noticed i messed up bad. Since i dont want to pay big bucks fo another center peice i decided to leave them. The black dots in the bumper are park distance control (also off of ebay) It helps when i get close and dont know how much room i have.

Thanks everyone the seats were about 7 hours worth of work removing the cloth and reclamping the leather steaming it hitting it so it would turn out smoothe. the angel eyes 4 hours because of the seals and the seat heaters went in with the leather

impressive job with seats and angel eyes! looks very professional...not like a diy

Thanks E
i did the angel eyes myself but i was so in a rush to get them done i didnt have any time to take pics but ure in luck because i noticed that my drivers side has to be opened again:( It keeps condensing so i must have not sealed it properly. The next time i take them apart i will take pics.

My mom wanted her garage back and didnt want me to use her car the next day lol sad but true

I like how you placed your plate on the bottom portion of your grill.

I did the same thing but not as clean as your attempt.. How did you attach it with the plate holder? I did the \"old school\" of ziptying my plate and padded tape behind the bottom portion of the plate.

Nice work on the seats too!!

LOL thanks for the reply but my plate is held on by those V shaped this that spread flat when you screw it tight. Really hard to explain but i will take a pick of it and show you wat i mean. But bad news happens my plate ripped out of the grill. The things i used to clamo it down with were to small.:( but now i role without a front plate :) looks so much cleaner
