I think I have a job lined up next week for another set of 4th gen Ram quads, this time painted mineral gray.

After doing the 02-05s though..........I don't want to do anything but those! LOL, damn things are the easiest things I have ever touched.

Thank you!

Its a newish hobby for me, I did my first retro last August on my 08. I swore I'd never open another set of lights again........well......that didn't last too long. I went 4 months on the 2010 before I busted 'em open. I couldn't stand it anymore. :cool:

I did a write up on how to do the retro, and a bud in NY sent me a message asking me if I'd do some for him. Well.....sure? LOL, that was the black set I did back in September. Things were quiet for about a month, and then I got 2 jobs in the same week. I loved it, I was able to sell my netbook and take the $$ from the 2 jobs and get an iPad. I love toys. :D

Honestly, what really sparked my interest in them is the fact that I can't for the life of me understand why it cost so damn much to get them done. I remember being quoted $600 for a retro on my 08, and that was with me sending my lights in. I about crapped myself. That 02-05 set up there......all said and done - with brand new headlights, install, hell - everything needed to go from stock to full retro........for much LESS than I was quoted for my set last year. And, the customer doesn't have to send me their headlights to do it. :cool:

Ok, enough rambling from me. Thanks for the comments! :p

Less than 100 bucks for new heads, thats nice.......but it says (Except SRT4 Models). I don't know the cali's or differences in lights on 'em.
