Default New AP1 owner an new to S2KI

Hey everyone my name is Justin Im from Warner robins Ga, and I just recently purchased my first s2k. Its a 2002 sebring silver that was modded by the previous owner but they were pretty tasteful mods. So far Im very pleased w/ the car. It has good power and great handling characteristics! My mods list is pretty short since the previous owner has basicly did everything i was gonna do. The first thing i need is MOAR LOW(curently on skunk2 springs)so coilovers are a must especially since i had a set on my previous car and of course a clean set of wheels. suggestions are always welcome. Im very new to this car so info would be great as well. Here are some pics of it hope you enjoy.

when i first got it:




and as it sits now:

threw on a berlina hood and the black spot on the lip its Plastidip

I like the smoked headlights.
Is that a film? You should be careful. Too many stories of those causing cracks.

Welcome!

It's not bad looking. I think the lights on the s are beautiful though.
If it's a film def take it off.
Lots of stories of them trapping heat and damaging the lights.

Nice pick up either way

XPEL says their film allows heat to escape. Whether it's true or not, I can't be sure, but the fact they mentioned it makes me think it was a concern of theirs. I was going to get the "light" smoke, the full definitely looks too dark.
