Thumbs up New Sleek installed on my FC Vert

Just installed our East Bear Rep sleek kit. The RE2000 bumper was modified to work with these lights. I think this is never done before.

Yea, this looks cleaner. RE2000 lenses gets scratch up and foggy. I setup low beam with HID and high beam in middle. The RE2000 fogs match with the sleek very well.

You did a good job on the conversion. How's your light out-put? One of the nice things of the FC2000 front end was there was a lot more room for properly sized lights, and those are partially obstructed. I haven't had a problem with scratches or fogging ever with my front end.

Either way, quality job.

That looks great!

How bout some shots during the day... With the top down.... With a topless broad hanging out the... Nevermind.

Though all of those WOULD be nice, how's about just a couple of daytime shots, with the top down? (I've noticed that the lines have a tendency to visually change when it's down.)
