I see where you're going with the color contrast, but I'm honestly not a big fan of it. It's original, yes, but I think a bit overdone? The colored lip just reminds me of ricers, the orange of the paint with the red of the rear lights with the front amber on your signals clash. I'd go for the murdered look, black all-around. A lot of members here have done the murdered look and they all look SWEET! Just my two cents, but more power to you Bro.

Michael - what happened to the euro stickers? I don't think it was transferred to Ross. Haha...

Yea I went for a different look. A lot of older guys here don't like it but I can never please their taste lol. Also I didn't do murdered out because its been really played out for years now. To me it look good but I've already done it on an e46, S60R, xrunner, gsxr1000, and C class. I need to take out those amber lights but I hate baking lights. But thanks for all the input!

You can buy the Euro overlays to clear it up. I tinted my tailights, I think that'd really help out your look; that way the red is hidden. Should be legal to run tinted tailights in Texas, right? Don't go too dark though, otherwise it'll look thuggish. I went with a 40%, and upgraded all 6 bulbs to the 32-SMD red bulbs so it's still bright when I step on the brakes. If you look around, you can find a few posts from me with pictures of the tint.

As long as you think it looks good, there you go.

Yea the taillights are actually pretty dark. They look red in the pic for some reason. I'm a painter, so tinting the lights is usually the first mod. I do about 40-50 lights a week, so I've messed with light smoke to blacked out.
