For those who know my car, I have some changes done from the old pictures, can you name the changes? (6 of them)

BEFORE:

AFTER:

(ANSWER: Front turn signals smoked, front side markers smoked, side stripe removed, rear side markers smoked, rear signals smoked, new muffler tip + painted black)

For those who haven't seen my car before (I'm sure there's new guys out there), here you go, I'm pretty much original, bought in October of 2004.

Here's some other pics:

I haven't done much to it, mainly because I don't have alot of money to spend, but also because I actually care about what I put on it, I have zero interest in getting anything ricer or aesthetic things from Autozone, if I get a body kit, chances are it wont be a kit that doesn't bolt onto the existing body (extremely ricer), I'll just get a custom molded one to my own design, but then again my car is pretty old, and the Korean made life in it is starting to show its age, so if there isn't another remodel soon I probably won't get another one, it's just too cheap for my tastes, plus the way Chevy is going with it's looks it's designing it to look more 3rd world with the enormous front headlights and exaggerated body proportions, like the Chevy Spark, the Aveo is becoming kind of not good looking...

Yea I did all the rebadging myself, it worked out VERY well.

It's not actually tint on the smoking job, a really good guy I met did a long process of scuffing, sanding, adding paint adhesive, airbrushing them with a glossy clear black then sealing it with a clear coat, believe it or not the parts have 10 coats of paint each, note the detail that went into the tape job on the back lights, it didn't just go on the main part but all the way around, except for the clear areas. I might go back to him to see if I can get the front turn signals darker cause I HATE HATE HATE the front turn signals but when they got darkened it looks so awesome with just the headlights.

BTW, notice the license plate :)
