blacked out heads/tails 5/14/09

took a couple pictures today. did a few things last month, figured i would take some updated pictures...

SE wheels
Headlights (covers)
tail lights (painted)
side markers (painted)
rear markers (painted)
suspension (teins)
front diamond badge (painted black chrome)
rear diamond badge (painted black chrome)
front lip

Since i am no longer going fast, i figured i would do a few cheap mods to make it look a little better. planning on tinting the windows, doing some carbon air ducts and hood/trunk sooner or later.

Tell me what you think, good or bad....

that is actually very common and is currently the way my car is.






Nice looking car man. That headlight film may fall off on you though. The i would suggest buying or sending out ur heads to have the insides done black and amber marker removed. the paint on the tails is either hit or miss. iv seen good and bad. i currently have the tint film on my tails n i like it.

Thanks 4 the comments!

The front film has been through several rain storms over the past 2 months as well as 140+ mph winds I just used ammonia free windex and a squeegie on it... For $12it won't be a total loss if it flys off lol


As for the tails they look OEM but dark as hell, they are perfect looking in person. I just hope to not get pulled over for either ha!

yea i havn't gotten pulled over for my dark tail lights yet either. i just mentioned the headlight film posibly flying off cause it happend to me. i think basicly what happens is if you start to see the film peel the slightest bit on the outside edges then as soon as u get going at a decent speed the air will get behind there and off it goes. maybe just take a quick peak at it once a week or so and fix any edges if they begin to lift so they don't fly off.

The key is to take your time. They can be lighter than this, but i chose to take it a few shades darker.

thanks for looking!
