looks great imo that body style looks better with smoke tail lights rather than blacked out.

How much work is it to black out the lights? How much does it cost? Maybe I'll do that to mine :)

I just installed the vinyl overlays. Took about 15 minutes to do the whole thing and got no bubbles. Nice and shiny finished product.

i used a spray tint. its testors model car window tint spray paint. it is soooo much cheaper than vinyl and that vht nightshades stuff. thats 3 or 4 coats on there. i've got to polish them when i get a chance, but they look pretty good close up.

and yea, thats just a steeda badge. the car is just a gt. i had a 4.6performace badge there before but someone decided that they wanted it more than i, and they yanked it off. it damaged the paint underneath, so i put a steeda badge there. i like it

lol. my camera is a canon powershot a530. it takes pretty good photos for what it is.

its all about having a tripod and the right exposure time for nite time shots.

and jay, yea man, we'll definitely have to get together and take some pictures. gets kinda boring doing this bymyself. lol
