That was one of the first things I did to my car. Cheap and easy.


Don't forget the exhaust tip.


Now I need some black wheels to tie it together. How about selling me yours.

I think the clear part left alone looks the best. Those tails are sick as is right now

thanks guys, those are 19's and im on the stock sport suspension. the offset on the iforged helps with the wheelgap i think but im wondering if itll be an issue when i get coils.

as for the tails, i think ill leave em for now. if anything down the road i think ill get the w220 tails and tint the lines darker.

Too much hassle since you're in NJ. If you were in LA, it'd be easier.
