    You should do the signal lenses on the mirrors too. Car looks real sick not lame or cheesy at all. One thing that stuck out at me was the exhaust tips, from the picture they look like they stick out like an inch or more too far. Also I think for the badges, leave them chrome but gloss the black under them. I think it will look really nice that way, also something I have not yet seen anyone do.

    well as far as the tail lights all i used was some tinted headlight wrap and just cut the areas i wanted.. chose this instead of painting em.

  15. 05-05-2012 11:57 PM #18
    yea on the exhaust tip i need to cut it shorter because they sent me the wrong length but will definitly get that taken care of soon. as far as all the other things i will get those done as well. but my problem is finding the time do em. but thanks man for the feedback.. greatly appreciated

    The tail light paint is one of the more creative ones I have ever seen, quite impressive.

    If you get a chance and don't mind cutting into the front lights you should try to paint the chrome trim on the inside flat black like these almost,




    Had to create an account to post these two quick questions;
    Are those Donington wheels the 18's?
    Can the center TSW badge be removed?

    yea man they are doningtons but their 17's and as far as the centercaps yes they do pop right off to replace them with any other cap you want. my question to you is.. it that the way you bought the headlight or did you do it yourself.. because it looks amazing.

    LOL, I wont flame you because I understand you probably don't get much time on the web. That headlight is made by Fifteen52. They are basically a one-off set but you can DIY if you want.
