I did the Tails myself... Just used spray tint but was very careful and smooth and make sure you count the layers so one isnt darker than the other. lol

Also taped off the headlights and did the lids myself. Got them 100% even. Proud of myself. lol

Nice job on the tails, did you use VHT night shades and then clear coat? you have to love that feeling when you do it yourself and it turns out well. nice work

Nice. Would be nicer if you had the lug caps on your tires.

And your putting a turbo on the car? How many miles on odo? How's your compression look?

I lost a lug cap so I took them all off for now. lol Yeah the turbo will be in a couple months. I have 145k and everything is good. Dont remember the numbers exactly but its ok I promise. Doesnt matter really as I will be rebuilding this engine anyways before I boost it.

The coilovers are great. It rides so smooth. The whole time I was putting them on I was telling myself how bouncy and annoying this would be but its comfortable for a lowered car. Dont regret it at all.

I actually left the lip the way it is when it came out of the box. I like the flat black look and I plan on painting the car soon as I am in horrible need of a paint job. Im not a huge fan of that muffler style either but it makes the car sound amazing. Really deep and beefy. I have the spacers actually sitting in my basement but I need extended lug bolts and just havent bought any yet. lol
