Well, here are a few more pull pictures of the lights. Shitty day, dirty car, but at least its light out.

Lights off.
Edit - Better daytime pics of lights off at bottom of page.

Lights on.






Here is another red car, I know its not completely the same thing, but you get the idea. Just to compare.


Let me know what you think.

Not feeling it still, it kinda makes the car look older....

I dont like the altezza look much better but I would take it over the red.

A+ to being different however, I think Ill just smoke mine.

No worries. People can absolutely hate my car, but as long as I like it I don't worry. I have a full plan, and once it starts to all come together I think itll fit better.

Sun pics

The sun was popping in and out of the clouds today, managed to snap a few daytime pics. Hopefully they look better. All with lights off.











I feel like a pic *****. I'm deleting initial pics and forwarding to here.

I'm actually putting a single reverse light using a fog light bulb in the rear rotor, which is why my accent is off. I'm fitting a clear lense in there in the next few days.

Now that the silver is gone from the tails, the focus is directed upon all the badges. Hmmmm....not sure about that.

Good, Im not the only one that thinks this car desperately needs a debadge!

I think without the cluttered trunk, this car will look 100x better. My personal opinion, I always though debadging wasnt a big deal until I did it to my car, makes a huge difference in appearance.

I have to agree, if you had to leave one badge on the trunk which would you leave and why?

way to go on the red tails, i had to put the reverse light in the triangle as well...leds right now, but the fog light idea would probably be a lot brighter, good job
