lol, I'll be making a DIY tonight including part numbers of everything I used so anyone else can do it.

As far as the amber reflectors go, some may like it, some may not, but I am one that does like it

my black wheels when they finally get here will tie it together much better

Was hoping to get to the night pictures and the DIY tonight, but the honey-do list kept me busy until 10pm and I have to work at 7am tomorrow

Total time was around 10 hours, would probably take me 6-7 to do a second set. The key is to take your time and do things right because you don't want to have to redo anything because you rushed.

I promise I'll get the DIY done tomorrow!
