So the weather is nice lately, detailed my car and made some new pictures. Mod list in my signature if you are curious.

Looks real good, what did you use to black out the amber in the headlights?

Its vinyl, semi black/smoked. I had it done at the tint shop when the windows were tinted. Its a pretty thick vinyl too, not the kind you get off ebay. It was cut to the shape of the amber rectangle.
 
Dam... thats a sexy coupe.

One thing I never understood with the 8th gens... why did they make the fenders such a sharp flat angle? Couldn't they have just rolled it off? But whatever just a thought.

Such a nice coupe though. Props man!

This answers my ? from the other forum ...thanks!

Looks good!
 
Looks great! Only thing IMO is that the flat black grill doens't flow with the rest of the car.

Its carbon fiber vinyl. I dont know how you think chrome flows better with the front than this :)

I didn't see the carbon fiber. Oh and chrome definitely does not flow better. If anything, color matched grill would've been awesome (if possible).
 
VERY NICE!! i really like the blacked out chrome on the grille. how did you do that? i would like to do that to mine. :thmsup:
 
Nice looking ride! It has a nice stance and nothing gaudy, which appeals to me.

Not sure why if people don't like something about someone elses car, why it needs to be pointed out as if the owner has done something wrong. We all have different tastes, it makes the world interesting as compared to everyone doing the same thing.

This is the film used. You can get many different measurements on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/3D-C...tem3f09e37aefQQitemZ270748842735QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

I removed the bumper when I did my HID's, so the chrome insert was removed as well. Its help by about 5 screws. I then wrapped it. You can wrap it while its on the car but its much harder to get certain angles.
 
looks GREAT.
 
where did you get the taillights from? i noticed you changed them... obviously and i want to change them too. im planning on tinting them and i dont think it would look good tinted on the new taillights.
 
Think about going back to the tint guy and flat blacking the bottom of the lower bumper like this - the vinyl works well - also paint the inside of the tips for a more finished look:

He didnt have the taillight shade I needed so I didnt get it done. I had my tips painted on the 08, might do it again. I like the look of both setups, it doesnt look anymore complete with or without :wave:
