The Caps cost me $75.00 the set and already came laser etched buddy, as for the rear brake light, I just removed the backing from the light, cut a holden sticker out of Black vinyl and stuck it over the top of the lens....

Again, thanks heaps mate...got a bit of trawling to do thru your rides also to do !!

[devi8vk]

wow that is tidy!! love the plates, brakes, and the brake light. sets it off nicely!

Well my SMD Blue LEDS arrived so ripped the dash out again and replaced all the standard blue LEDS, these SMD's have a lot better spread of light so eliminate much of the hotspots, also gave it another polish, and the Sunglasses holder is now wired so the main interior dome light switches off, when you turn on the Sunglasses holder switch.......A few pics....

Well I started by washing the car at 2pm Clay Barring at 3pm, and finally finished with the polishing and cleaning 5 minutes ago......so roughly 7 hrs worth of work,from start to finish.....I am now a convert, the statesman looks absolutely amazing, and am stoked with the final product.....Enjoy...Andy
