Anyone have a source for the tape to rap the wire harness?

previous threads on the topic have suggested Mercedes tape

Those look pretty cool. Could you post a couple pics of what the car looks like during the day with the lights off? I was thinking about doing something like this to but I'm curious what it looks like.

Put in 6k headlights with RGB angel eyes controlled by remote.

Those are beautiful!  Sure hope the offset is close... kinda looks like they sit proud of the fender lips?

Thanks! They were a pain in the butt to find. 3 piece 15" 150s are about as common as M12 motors so after maybe 18 months of looking for a set, these came up and I had to jump on them even though my car was nowhere near running at that point. They will definitely be tight. 7 and 8 inches wide means my offset is going to have to be very carefully calculated, as will tire size... The good thing (for me) is that OZ_Tom has done all of the math for me already  Bottom line is I'm going to have to run spacers and extended studs. Not too big a deal, and my fenders are already rolled from when I had a set of BBS RSs

Got the Ireland billet door handle set to replace my old beat up ones. Photo for someone that never seen other than their website. Scratched up more than I would think is acceptable being new but for the price I guess you get what you get.

 

 

+1.....I rec'd the same handles recently but after a closer inspection found mine in similar condition. Looks like they could have been finished a lil better. (Mine had some minor pitting too.) Anyway,  I am having them re-plated to match up with the rest on my interior finish so not really a deal breaker.....but I share your frustration.... maybe IE will take notice for the future.

Re plated? From the description I thought they were raw “unfinished” billiet aluminum.

did they come plated or polished?

No, they are raw aluminum. I am just having them plated to match up with the rest of my interior trim. I have basically refinished all the interior trim bits and custom bezels to a brushed nickel finish. NO CHROME thus the need to change the handles

I sure hope so,,,,, a couple more weeks to go.

I have Ensign to thank for a "fifth" wheel to complete my aftermarket set with a matching spare. 

 

Stripped off the silver paint.  

Visited my favorite place to bead blast

Then had the lip professionally polished on a lathe.

Masked, primed and painted everywhere but the lip.

Removed tape and clearcoated everywhere but the lip.  I will keep the lip polished.

 

Now I just need a spare tire to match my CN36s.  OH NO!
