Nice job Frank.. I like the ride height.. looks good to me!

Is that a Carlsson exhaust? How much were the tail lights? Haven't seen any quite like that before.. Can you order those? Just curious..

thanks Mark.

the exhaust's custom from a local muffler shop. the tail lights are DIY. I bought a tint spray from a rice shop down the street where I live and just did it myself. It usually cost people at least $100 to have it done by shops. The spray tint was $27.

I hope you used a clear coat Frank. Otherwise, that tint will most likely fade pretty quickly.
