Looks good, but for some reason the polished lip on your rims looks really thin, kinda makes the car look dirty. Otherwise, very sweet.

Hey EviLS1, had any problems with the tail lights melting because of the blackouts? Was thinking about getting them for mine.

Yea, it put dimples in the tail lights... I posted a thread about that a while back too. Some say it's the fitment and the way you mount them. If I could do it all over again I would have taken them out and went the spray on method. I'll be doing it to my turn signals next because the covers look kind of tacky. I also wish I would have went the whistler route with the headlights but oh well.

Yup, when I upgrade the brakes black calipers will be on the list. I still need to spray the 3rd brake light!

IMO, the wheels need a nice chrome lip to set them off. But the car looks evil as hell

Agreed, to me an all-black wheel just looks dirty, but to each their own. Your car, do what you like.

As for the blackouts putting dimples in your taillights, that reminded me that I wanted to ask you a question: How often do you have your parking lights and/or headlights on? I was wondering if there's any relationship to how often people use their parking lamps / headlights compared to who gets the dimples. I would think people that have the parking lamps lit a lot would create more heat on a regular basis, and hence the higher chance of warping.

Looks pretty good, just needs to be lowered.



One suggestion; when taking pictures at an angle like this one, turn the front wheels away from the camera so we can see the wheel face instead of the tread.
