          Ring Taxi

          Does anyone know the mods done to the Ring Taxi? It looks lower with wider than stock tires on the back.

          Thanks, it looks lower and the back tires look larger than 275s, it must be the angle. Which angel eyes did you go with and how do you like them. I am just getting started and my list of potential modifications reads almost exactly like your installed list. Anything you would have done differently?

          I am very happy with the mods so far.

          The angel eyes were the Hella upgrades, the whole light assembly.
          I also got the Angelibrights to get the angel eyes in the same color as the Xenon lights.
