Hey Crescent, I think the 19" wheels really look good on your white car. Probably the best color/wheel combo offered from stock....

This I gotta see. The lights are already red, I don't get why you would paint them a different shade of red.

Because it's a much darker color than stock

It definitely looks cool, but IMO, the red of our tail lights break up the monotone nature of having a black car. I love mine how it is stock. Kudos to you though for making a unique 2010!

I understand what you mean, but I would be afraid the Police would have a problem with that. There are vehicle code regulations requiring brake lights to be red, turn signals to be red or yellow and back ups must be white. The pictures make his lights look almost black. If you get a municipality that wants to be difficult, you may have to buy new tails and put them back to stock. Maybe cause I live in a Communist state that wants to regulate every aspect of your life I am a little more leery about making such changes.

I also agree with 65raven65 that you need a little contrast on a car to make the car look good. I personally don't like what some people do making their cars a sea of black or a sea of red, etc. The beauty is that it's his car and if he likes it then that's all that matters. We don't all agree on all the mods, but that's OK.

Yes, it's the Roush bumper. I understand you're thoughts on the back of the car being too black. That's why I went with a dark cherry that shows a hint of red. It also shows quite alot of red when the lights are on and the brake lights are on.
