Need opinions on aftermarket headlights. Both are 70-80 dollars for the set. Just not sure which I should get because I like the dark look, but I don't want to just muddy up my front end either.

Eventually I'm going to colormatch all of the chrome to that same gray, then recolor the lower part, like this:Bertha shop compromise 2 tone.jpg
with that in mind, what do y'all think? Probably should've posted this with it haha

Get the Depos. Love mine. But if those are the choices go with the chrome ones but if plan is to grey them out then black will be easier to paint likely. My .02.

Yeah id probably be considering something dirt cheap like: https://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-MVH-...038362&sr=1-19&keywords=double+din+car+stereo

https://www.amazon.com/Pyle-Motoriz...038446&sr=1-26&keywords=double+din+car+stereo

Its been over a decade since I was playing with car audio stuff. No idea whats really out there atm. I was really hoping it would be cheap to add handsfree calling or a backup camera to my stock setup.
You can always get something cheap now and upgrade it later.

What exactly does the big 3 do?

Big 3 is up sizing main conductors (+ Batt to alter, - batt to chassis, engine grnd to chassis) to reduce resistance. Read, more efficient, less/no dimming on acc circuits.
So I have no stereo really upgraded head unit with hid lights and may eventually upgrade the bose amp as I've seen on here. I'm thinking about doing a pretty good size inverter under a seat in the second row. Would the big 3 be something for me to look into doing? Or is it more for big stereos

It's a good idea even without any of that, so yes. I would do it if I were you.

Yeah I like them a lot. I'm thinking about painting the bumper plastics myself. I found a write up on another forum that gives a step by step process to prep it properly to paint it

It's all in the prep work. I painted my Esky rack end caps, Esky appliqués and front bumper cap to start. I eventually took the rest of the color matched stuff in to the shop, but still have the end caps with what I did quite a while ago.

You got this.

Is there a write up on the big 3? I know it's fairly straight forward but never hurts to ask

If you're windows go up slow when you try to do more than one at a time or if the lights flicker when you roll the windows up with the door open, the Big 5 upgrade is needed in your rig. It just allows more amps to be drawn for accessories. The windows seem to be the biggest current draws I have.
