Also how did you end up blacking out your tails?
You should get some bug & tar remover (I used turtle wax brand, works great) for the "L" adhesive and the what seems to be dealer sticker? Not sure, but I can see the adhesive stuff.
Yes I gotta buy that or some goo be gone and get that nasty stuff off. And I have to clean it. As for the pictures there isn't much to see. There is a 3.5 inch hole in the engine bay behind the front bumper, but if you still want pictures I can do it. I bought rustoleum taillight tint, took taillights off, put them on some plastic in the driveway, and did 3 coats, 5 minutes in between, then let them dry overnight. Worked pretty well
Yeah I would like pictures if you can!Quote:

Have you metered the taillights yet to see if you're in the legal zone?
If you do I'd love to see how far away you can see them from. (It's 500 feet here in Illinois, not sure about your state)
When it lights up you can't even tell they are darkened.. My state doesn't have a law on it, I can check, and take you some pics tommorow, as for the CAI it is the chromeintakes one off of eBay, it was $50 shipped. Asked for it with black couiplers, and I painted the pipes black with engine enamel. Took under an hour to install.
Not bad at all.Quote:

It is very matte
I like them, but I'm probably going to do a couple layers of clear coat on mine, just because I like the smoother look, yours looks like it has a texture :PQuote:

next on my list is tires, joey mod headlights, and turning the turn signals into LED's, getting rid of the orange
You should do a write up or how to of the turn signal LED's & joey mods on your car.Quote:
