wish i'd seen this thread sooner... i can totally understand the headaches involved with the conversion..
imo if you go with the msp front with autoexe lip... go with the deletes, don't need fogs... so far your ride is coming along very nicely.
what everyone is saying is great advice... go slow.. be patient... things take time... make sure you shop around, get a good deal.... AND BE NICE!!!
msp in WHITE looks SICK!!!
so far there are three of us (that i know of) with conversions painted sand mica or sandalwood metallic... Chico, D-Rock, and myself... so don't worry about twins or triplets or whatever.. all our rides are different and unique..
just a suggestion.... on paint... stick with white .. and add some pearl to the mix...
GOOD LUCK... (rockon)
