Default New pre-winter pics

took a couple pics yesterday because winter is coming and im pretty sure im gonna change out the wheel/tire combo for a winter only set. and i dont think they will look nice n shiny like these.

HIDS all around



tinted tail lights, on and off. once i find a reverse bar they are coming back off for a couple more coats of darkness.

Have you thought about getting your windows tinted? I think 25% would look on point with your ride.

Fantastic pics though love the color of the car

They are 35% on the sides and back. I'm going to have 35% done on the windshield and go a little darker on the sides and back. Don't know, but it's on the list.

Here it is before tint and lowering

Yeah I can see the difference now, I have 20% on my ride.

What kind of lowering springs did you use?

I've been debating HID's in my car when tax time rolls around- I'm using Silverstars currently and I can already tell they're not as bright as when I first bought them. I was considering the halo lights off ebay but I couldn't see anything reputable so I assumed they were all Chinese knockoffs.

Anyway what brand HIDs did you use and what color temperature? Any night shots?

No night shots and not a fan of the halo lights unless on a BMW. But to each their own.

I got the headlights and fogs fr DDM tuning and don't regret it *crossing my fingers they stay working * they are 6000k temperature for both sets and they are bright bright. Had 6000ka in my GTP as well but different company and those were good for over 2 years and bright as hell also.

I just got done waxing mine for the winter today. I Clay bared it, and put on two coats of wax. Pretty burned out right now....

The front bumpber is getting re-painted this summer. Too many chips and pealed paint!!!!

nope, had it off since february and havent been pulled over in the car yet. I didnt have a front plate on my GTP for 5 years and was never pulled over for it, but did get ticketed once for it after being pulled over for not wearing my seat belt...that i was wearing. My mom, who i bought my GTP from, was never bothered either for the 4 years she drove it with no front plate either.
