That looks awesome! Great pics too

I love the rear of the car with the titanium paint, black diffuser and smoked tail lights. That's a very purposeful but still classy look.

What about some rear window tint as a future mod?

Thanks guys!

I've been thinking about a window tint but personaly I'm not a fan of tinting only the rear windows. I would like to tint all the windows except for the front windshield but in Belgium it's illegal to tint the front side windows. So that's why I'm probably not gonna tint any of the windows.

How did you smoke the taillights? Are they Hella units or did you have them sprayed / film applied?
