Bike looks good! Did you polish the wheels yourself? Can you give us more on the projector when you get a chance?Tail looks so good on there!!!!

Yea that was my first time polishing rims. It wasn't hard at all. paint remover and some sandpaper. Most of the work I've done to my bike,I found how to's here on the forum. Just use the search. The headlamp i used a old fog light from a car. Cut the guts out ,put the hid in there. For the lens. I sanded all the bumps off the inside of the stock lens. Ill post some pics when I get a chance

When you get the chance, could you take a straight on picture of the tail? and maybe a couple from the side? I'd like to see how you did yours since it looks so clean. thanks!

i couldn't find a custom headlamp replacement for my f3 so i had to D.I.Y.. i use some heat to split the lends from the housing.. and then started sanding the inside of the lens with a heavy grit sand paper (think i started with 60 grit).

from there i kept moving to a finer grit sandpaper (100,220,4 something,600).after 220 ,started the wet sanding and thats when it started to clear up. i did it all by hand. i stayed away from any power sanders cause i didn't want any uneven sanding.
