What do you think? I know it's nothing creative as far as this forum is concerned, but I wanted to keep my modifications subtle and sporty. Planning on tinting the tail lights and calling it a day.

Very nice. Have you thought about tinting your turn signals (in the mirrors)?

Thanks for the compliments guys. It's nice to have this forum to see what others have done first and what was worth the money. Definitely great advice here.

Had been debating that, still working on getting the tails tinted I just ordered the overlays from Bluebatmobile.

I really wish tinting the windshield was legal for street use because it looks so hot.

The previous owner installed chrome B pillars on the black pillars inbetween the windows. I didn't even notice they were there until I started comparing my car to stock. I like the all-black look across the side windows it just looks clean. And your welcome for removing it. I'm not big into chrome except for the other few subtle places it is on the car.

Looks real nice, You should get some spacers to push those wheels out though so they can be more flush with the fenders.

oh wow super old thread. this actually isnt much of a mod. my Max came with chrome B pillars (inbetween the windows) and I used a heat gun to remove them and upgraded from 18's to 19's.
