car looks good man.. i'm not usually a big fan of those coupes even though my cousin has one, but yours i have to say is pretty hot. I was just wondering though how do you like the 8000k hids for driving around all the time since i've heard some ppl mention that the visibility isn't that great or its a bit too dark?

Red + Black theme FTW!

you should find a vinyl thick enough to black out the entire lip, then do a thin red stripe.
