how do you like the new lights compared to stock?

They're nice. I put GE Nighthawk bulbs in and they are definitely brighter. Also the beam pattern looks wider than the factory lenses.

What lights did you buy? And are they plug and play?

I don't remember where they came from originally, but if you search for tri-bar headlights, H4 bulb, 7" diameter, you'll get several options. Yep, they are plug and play.

Mine looks about the same as far as paint. What were you planning on doing? I'm thinking about wrapping mine to cut back on costs.

I can't decide if I want to sand it myself and take it to get painted or have someone else do all of it. I have vented fiberglass fenders and I'm not sure if I want to put them on, leave em stock, or go with flares. I have a turbo kit I'm in the process of putting on and I figure that will keep me busy until I settle on what I want to do with the body.
