I just wish they were a little bit bigger. You could link them to imageshack.us because I know you have to make them a certain size to upload here. Anyway, I don't really understand what you mean by shaving your tail lights. They don't look that different to me other than some of the honeycombs are blacked out.

Did you do it or a shop? It would be a cool thing to do, except for having to repaint whole panels or the car to match.

Nice wheels, nice shaved door handles. How much is the kit to open the doors? Did you relocate your gas thingy to the interior of the hatch?

looks good, try taking pics in the direct sunlight with no flash. Keep all shadows on the opposite side of the car when you are taking pics. We wanna see this thing in all its glory.

Looks good but now you can never race at a legit 1/4 mile track.

Shaved handles arent allowed, incase of an emergency the saftey team cant get in.

They fiberglassed the tail lights into one piece then sprayed them in the same black/cherry paint that the rest of the car is in...

They also taped off some of the honeycombs to change the appearance of it... added sequential wiring to it as well...

Oh I see it now. It doesn't look like it matches the rear quarter although that may be crummy lighting causing that. Please show us some day time pictures! Then host them on imageshack or something so we get better quality.

This is what I'd like to know.

I hate my gascap, I want everything to be smooth but I didn't think you could shave it.

The gas filler/cap is inside the rear hatch hidden under the rear speaker grill.

So you have to open the trunk to fill the tank? It seems like you would get a little spilled gas in there everytime you fill up.
