Some people from my crew just told me about them.
I just bought some wheels, and 2 of them need some TLC.

The place is in miami. They charge about $150 and turnaround time is 2-3 days.

I'm thinking of taking it there, or doing it myself. It depends on what my peep tell me about the curb rash on wednesday. If they think its not too too bad, then i'll do it. If they think it looks like ****, then i'll take it to the pros.

From what i've read. If its a rash on a polished lip (like mine ) Then its harder to fix.

But if its a painted wheel. Its easier to fix, because you can use bondo, and then paint, clear coat and such. Give them a call, they'll probably tell you to send them some photos.

the door handle thing is okay. it would look 10x better in pure white. the purpose of that is to be an added luxury and light up the area. green is not best LED color to light things up. so if your purpose was just for show, then great, but if the purpose was function then you should think about the white - plus it'll look like oem equipment and possibly raise the value of your car a bit, a good selling point if you ever decide to do that.

and is the bulb outside of the plastic? it looks like it is on the 1st and 2nd pic. it should be inside of it sitting flush (theres a DIY on this site somewhere).

oznium is not god. green is not as bright or brighter than white. that is impossible. i think the closest green can get to white in terms of brightness is maybe 5000mcd. not 8000.

im not here to argue, if you like it, thats all that matters. im just saying if it was for the purpose of function, white is the way to go. it's apparent it's for show which is great. i think it looks great for show altho it's not something im into. i'd like to see them in person because i was thinking about doing white in the future when i have more time for DIY stuff.
