Default Small Exterior mod

So, I got tired of the scratched up BS that my lights were, so I went out, and got some VHT nightshade and tinted the headlights, and the taillights (slightly less than the headlights)

So, here are some pictures. In the one from behind, you can see that I put the GT badges back on, you can't really see the badge itself, but it's back on. I ground down the locating pin, and yes, I painted it flat black.








Let me know what you guys think

well yeah, I problem is i'm fine with having less visibility out the front, because well, I know I have decent eyesight, but i'm affraid if I go any darker out back, that someone will rear end me, and I'm not ready to sign up for that quite yet.

I am switching to either a 2003 Cobra Bumper, or a 99-01' bumper (leaning towards the 01), so that when I add the FMIC, I don't loose any airflow.

The light seems to shine through quite a bit in the front, which is suprising because they do look quite dark, but enough so that the high beams could be used in place of low beams and no one will know the difference.


I think it's time for me to start thinking about HID's. Who knows, well see I guess.
