Painted Taillights and Calipers , thought id share
Im starting to not like my cars looks more and more each day. The fart can bothers me the most at this moment. The no tint factor sucks ***** too. I had 5 % but got a ticket for it recently. Anyway heres where she stands currently. Im haulting the exterior for now and moving to Forced Induction Funding against my better judgement. Anyways tell me if im going the wrong way or making it look clean because right now i just dont know. I was all for the blacked out look but my two major blacked out features have been deleted. (Rims and Tint) so im stuck with These rims for now and Cleared OEM's none the less heres something for you to waste 30 seconds of your eye time on /
Hate it or Hate it ***Notice the Burned up yellow tint on the foglights GREAT HUH!***

I don't like the back end at all, never been a fan of blacked out tails or big ugly mufflers.
Front end looks nice
I have red calipers too, rhcp0801 do you which to comment?
?WTF? one yellow and one clear fog

I know how it feels to have no tint either...lol....I had 20% all the way around for 2 years until I got pulled over for this winter break....Cop gave me 5 days to take it off and get my car inspected....I feel so naked in a car with NO TINT...ahhhhh
Re: Painted Taillights and Calipers , thought id share
I've got the same car, but with Enkei Gf1. I just bought black taillights from K2Motor.com for $85, you might want to look into that. I'm going to tint them, not too much because like he said, the insurance company wouldn't like it very much. But they look sooo nice. Some pics to help you out...

haha you can see me in my slippers... That's a good wax job.


Sorry for the bad lighting, I just ran out and snapped these. Hope they help

Re: Painted Taillights and Calipers , thought id share
I'd say just get the oem foglights and an exhaust tip that sits up nicer under the car and you'll be set. The wheels aren't half bad and the windows . . . well everyone will understand. OR just get a really light tint on the front and make the back ones even darker so then you might be able to trick a few cops! Oh, and maybe drop it a li'l more!

Re: Painted Taillights and Calipers , thought id share
keep the springs and get a lip kit. then get a rsx muffler or something stock looking and replace the fart can. and go back to stock tails the all black looks ugly.... at least in the day time.
