                    Pretty much. Just glass the whole backside up, over the mounting screws and everything.

                            Finally washed for the first time since I got the wheels







                            Now that I don't live in a dump, I can at least make it look decent. Needs a new hood and valence if it's going to start looking presentable.

                              I like how this is going....I am super impressed with the custom lights and the cut off involved.

                              If you can do it in a parking lot and a low budget then I should stop spending my money else where...I work 30 hours a week and go to comm. college when I'm not working....

                                Are those FX-Rs? And I'm pretty impressed with your color band, on my E55's the glass lens takes away most of the color.

                                And I've been running my temporary set up for almost a year with out any sealing around the projectors and haven't had any issues with condensation or water getting in.
