So I tinted my taillights and painted my side and hood scoop honeycombs gloss black. Looks pretty good. I also did the IAC mod and stuck in a K&N filter. Didn't really notice a difference with the filter. My springs are in my garage - I just have to buy s/s, cc plates and my new wheels/tires so don't tell me about the 4x4 or the ugly wheels. Trust me, I already know... SFCs are on the list as well. Enjoy!

Oh yeah, I was gonna say how I tinted the lights. I spent $12 at home depot on "Gila Smoke Window Film". It is supposed to go on your home windows and I used it on my lights/reflectors. It was a little time consuming, cutting it to fit but it looks really good and saved a bunch of money. I am very happy with how it turned out.

Nice job. [sm=smiley20.gif]
Black out the trunk panel and it will look even better.

I used a little squirt bottle with water and a squeegy that was right next to the film at home depot. It was really easy once I had it cut correctly. I just sprayed a bunch of water on the light, stuck in on and sqeegied it till there were no bubbles. If you want to try it make sure you have a towel to wipe off the edges as water comes out or the edges might peel later.

yeah you can see them fine. In fact, I could almost not tell a difference in the brightness. I'm not going to do the fronts because I'm not sure about the laws in TX and I just got a ticket. I don't want to push my luck.
