I used deck lag bolts used to secure a wooden deck to the back of a house. Probably overkill, and I put 2 per door secured to the wall studs. It's very solid.
Yes, and every upgrade seems to lead to another upgrade. I went straight to 37's and now on 40's. It never ends. Yours looks great, sometimes I wish I had kept it more simple.
I just used the Oracle RGB+W upgrade kit to turn my factory LED's into color changing halos. It's not for the faint of heart. It requires cutting the factory lenses off the housing, changing out the LED chips, resealing the lens to the housing (plastic welder and Oracle headlamp RTV), and...
