+1 agreed..

car looks good.. did you paint those tips yourself? what kind of paint did you use?

Thanks a lot....thanks all of you....

I used Rust-Oleum paint...or however you spell it, except the one i used is the high heat engine enamel...cuz the paint I used to paint my grilles, was paint for plastic, and not very heat resistant. I thought that would be a problem, because after I drive the car hard, the heat coming out of the grilles is really hot, but I havent had problems with it so far (knock on wood)....

BUt thanks guys!

That first picture was painful to look at. Glad she back up and looks better than before. The tinted tails would be a miss for me, especially since you have the LCI tails.

Yeah, but I like the aggressive look, and I like the DRL LCI tails....I have gotten SOOOO many ppl that wanna race me since I have smoked tails lol....it's great, especially since I dont have rims, which is the first indication of a modded car....

OUCH! That before pic made me wince.

Car looks great! Thumbs up for the sidemarkers and tips...not sure about the smoked tails...I have been thinking about smoking just the top white portion.

About 20 for the film and 40 for installation....Im a big fan of DIY, but the smoking of the tails is something I recommend NOT DOING!

I was watching him do it, and even he was struggling; this is a guy who has done hundreds of smoked tails, and 3M clear bras.....soooo yeah...about 60 on the whole...
