Also, can you post some pics from a further distance?
Sure i can







Next i really wanna tint my taillights, but this place quoted me at 120 for everything and that seems a bit pricey.

I painted mine after a rock broke it. Glued, sanded and sprayed gunmetal only to have a rock chip it again.

Thats looks nice, im sure mine will start chipping cause they are doing construction right infront of my neighborhood and i get sooo many niks and crap hitting my front end.

Im at school right now and they have facebook blocked so i'll have to look when i get home.

yea...the fronts get chipped up from the rocks and looks ugly over time. i stripped the paint off the front but left the rear black cause i was too lazy...doesn't matter cause u can't see both emblems at the same time!
