Here is my input. I also have a Black on Black car. And here are some things that i have done that you may like. 1. Black out your headlights. They look amazing! 2. Before you paint your tails, get the IX Tails. The chrome on the VIII's shines through too much. But still paint them. For everyone that says they are too dark at night, the Evo's Tails are soo bright, that painting them doesnt make them unsafe. 3. Tint your windows. i have 5%. and it matches well. 4. Paint your keyhole on the trunk black. You can see it a mile away from behind. 5. black intercooler. Hope this helps. go ahead and PM me if you have any questions. But the car looks gorgeous! good job!

I will paint the headlights, and i will stick with the tail lights right now, since they are tinted. I will paint the trunk key hole, its never been used anyways.
I will paint the intercooler myself, since i dont wanna spend 500 on it. But one thing I can not do is 5% tint. legal limit here in CT is 35% and I live in city where cops are harassing me over very quiet exhaust. I want to turn my attention to engine and suspension now, and i will do body work when I can. Thanks again for your input.

Ya, the keyhole is never used and its so ugly on the TB. And i understand about the Tint. Only 35% is legal here too. But its usually like a 40 dollar ticket. Worth it to me. But cant wait to see what you do with your evo. Sounds like you got a plan figured out.
