Where are the exhaust tips? Not feeling the covers

You need a drop to go with the all black look.

not feeling the lights. You've got the all black look going, why all of a sudden add a 'stripe' look by not doing the whole thing.

I'd recommend smoking the corners and the rear tail lights. Don't go TOO dark on the rear, cops will hate you.

If you cleaned your car next time before taking pics..It would look alot better. If your gonna take the time to post a thread and ask people what they think, you should at least make sure the car looks good as well.

Being different can sometimes not work in your favor. Personaly I like having bright tail lights so that people in back of me can clearly see them. Safety of style. I do like the pass through cover. I suggest removing the center console silver trim and painting them black to flow through.

You aren't being different with the rear pass thru cover....I painted mine before you!

I think your decal is too big too.
