Looks good. Any darker might be too much. With wheels and other accents you are doing it will be great looking.

Looks real good! I wish I had that kind of luck when i did mine. I ended up ruining them and had to buy the smoked ones off of AM.

And those black FR's will look sick.

Not sure if I'm getting Fr500s or just painting my stock rims black for now. Decisions decisions...

Thanks! It's definitely staying now that I've had it on for a bit, I really like it.

If you didn't like them you would have to spring for a whole new set of lights vs. just peeling it off if you went the other route. I did the stick-on tint for exactly that reason.
It wouldn't take but about 15 minutes for me to sand it off and rebuff the tails back to stock. Plus, it was cheaper for the VHT than it was for the stick on tint. I like it, and once I have black rims, I think it will look even better.

Your car looks amazing. You have me thinking about just painting my stock rims black, and getting 10.5s out back and using the extra cash to get smoked headlights and darker int

Thanks! If I don't get FR500s, then my stockers are going to be black, and the extra money will go towards headlights and HIDs, with some darker window tint.

I got my smoked headlights with the silver side markers for 70 bucks on ebay and my HID'd for like 40 from DDM extra. I'd just get the FR's. Shouldn't take you long to save back up for Headlights and HID's. Just my opinion tho lol

With school it will be another 2 months or so before I can afford the rims. but 18x9/10 will be nice. Plus I won't need new tires and I can probably sell my stockers for $400 or so. I'll have to see how it goes.

I sold my stockers on ebay with completely bald (im talking baby butt smooth) Fuzion ZRi's for over $300 so you should definitely be able to get 400

I sold my v6 stockers for $350 on craigslist. Hopefully I can get $400. The tires have a good 15k-20k miles left on them.
