wow, you've scraped up your front pretty good.

I've scrapped it twice (very minor) but sad to say I missed it when buying the car

I got 35/50 tints on it. Shop in Va Beach called TNT tinting did it... Looks great.

LOL you went from Newport news to Cali huh. I went from Cali to Newport News.... What part of Cali are you in?

Hey guys just want to say that everyone's Brilliant Blacks are, F'ing Brilliant!

I got mine not too long ago and its pretty much stock. I was able to get a large brake kit and a set of rims in exchange for web development a local tuner shop needed. I cant wait to get them so i can show mine of as proudly as everyone else.

I have a question about keeping our blacks brilliant. What does one do if they get a bit of wax on the plastic parts (rear fender and weather stripping between the front hood and bumper)? I bought a product called "Back to Black" but it doesnt seem to be a permanent solution. The traces of wax resedue seems to reappear. If anyone could help, I would appreciate it. thanks. Keep postin'! I love all the cool sh't you guys do to your car.

Soon to join the ranks!

Keith

Now that's a crazy set of wheels!

It's not my taste but it fits really well. I cant tell if it's lowered or not.
