Not crazy about the rear lights but other than that. You can never go wrong with black. Get the windows tinted.

Actually, now that I look at it more, **** it, I like it!

Still, get the windows tinted.

Not a fan of the black tail lights, other than that it looks bad ***. Could definitely use some tint though.

LMAO Thanks. This was posted in the wrong section by mistake. Shows how much I stay in SRK. LOL

Can I get a mod to move this to the V section?

Why would you black out the crest and reef on the front and wheels and not the rear one

I plastidipped rims and grill, but vht'd the tails... i was thinking about blacking the wreath at the rear too. I blacked the wreath at the front to see how it looked and I'm liking that look

Trim down the front license plate on the top and bottom and zip tie to grill. it will look sick! Btw, blacked out tales look good...

Looks good but fix the front plate. Either cut it or get the bracket from CS that goes through the lower grill. And tint

Mine looks the same except for a spoiler and factory option wheels. I even plastidipped the driving lights. Every time I walk out the door and see it, I still get a chubby.

I've been thinking about tints, but I feel like I can only talk my way out of so much before I'm guaranteed to eat at least 1 ticket per stop. LOL

What CS bracket?

Which spoiler? I used to have one of those lip spoilers in my old CTS and I liked the look, but I'm thinking of trying the other to see how that looks.

the sticker and front license plate are killing it. Other than that, it looks ok.

I was under the impression blacked out meant tinted too? Also, I'm a huge meme fan, but it has no place on the V. JMO
