Default Exterior ideas, Check it out!!

so guys i got bored so i photochopped a few things on my car and wondered what you all think. First off i didnt do the lowering, my friend did but since it was a decent pic to start with and i dont have to lower the car in the pic, i decided to use it.

I added last of the breed badge, front liscence plate cover, silver bird on the liscence plate cover, and clear side marker lights

heres the original pic

Here is a side shot of all i would like to have done, it has drilled rotors, painted calipers, and last of the breed badges, again i am lazy and didnt want to lower it cause it takes to much time

original pic of this series

if you go with the LOTB emblems, keep the stock side markers.. they all tie into each other. i got rid of the clears right when i put the emblems on.

So basically, you want your car to look like this only in a lowered version:

My guess is you're referring to the AVS Taillight Blackouts? I also have the AVS front running light blackouts - I like the look of them on a Black car as it makes everything monochrome - not really fond of them myself on other colors as they stick out like a sore thumb.

You have some cool ideas... I have always said if I got a black car I would black it all out and give it a nice stealthy look.. But since you said you don't like the blackouts, I still think it would look badass because the red from the badges and calipers will tie everything in..

Looks amazing. I love it when people keep cars simple and clean like that. And the LOTB badges are a subtle, yet huge difference. Wish they made something like that for my 02 Camaro.

But you should have stuck with the stock colored side marker lenses, or do the Nightshades paint effect on them. The clear lenses don't blend with the res of the car. But those are some sweet pics also.

I definitely like the bird and the lowering.

Personally, I think clear corners look cheap on black cars.

As for emblems, I don't like them on my car personally, but I don't think they look bad.

For the calipers, red is kinda overdone. I bet a dark grey would look better.
