the retros are now done. i have the passenger side in but not the driver side due to rust being fixed on the core support behind the headlight.

i wired 6 uv leds in parallel wired up to a switch inside. i used 6 because the uv leds arent very bright and i wired them in parallel so if one goes bad they dont all turn off. i just epoxied them with the led pointing towards the cutoff and the reflective cup until i found it was brighest and left it like that.

I'd LOVE to see this car with a yellow '02 dodge grille. I think it'd really pull the front together. Maybe throw a purple 1gn badge on it. The homemade metal grille just doesn't do it for me. The retros look awesome though. Great job.

just buy one cheap and paint it next time you need to paint something. Didn't you or your dad paint your bumper and lip for you? I think they're like $15 new from RockAuto

painted mirrors, eyelids, and a yellow dodge grille are now musts... they will really tie the car together well.
