Blacked out the grill and added a lip... worked a deal out to get the wheels powder coated. I'll probably go with Satin Black, but for now....

wow that's really pretty, i wanna do that lip now. are your back lights blacked out? what's your opinion on the cf diffuser?

BrandonS

For the back I acutally used a tinted vinyl because I was too afraid of not being able to reverse it. It's listed on eBay as smoke tint I think. It's like $6 for a 12x24" sheet. It doesn't just go on. You need to use a heat gun to shrink and stretch it. A giant PITA to be quite honest. I ordered 4 sheets and destroyed two of them in my first attempts. I'm happy for the most part with the left light, but not the right (a crinkle or two and a few bubbles). I'll probably order another 2 and try to do the right light again. I also would like to do the middle light.

I really like the lip. I think it really changes the look of the front. The only thing I don't really like about it is how it doesn't but up against the bottom of the bumper on the outermost edge. Since the sides don't stick out very far, it looks a bit ackwards at some angles like I have two lips.

Oh the grill just has vinyl put over the chrome peices. It turned out really nice IMO. It was only $5 for a peice of vinyl that was as big as the grill.




This is where it's slightly odd looking:



Left light is tinted... right light is not:


Here's both; outside they look slightly darker since there isn't a flash bouncing through them from 2 ft away:

What did you do to refinish the headlights? Mine are looking pretty bad but I didn't want to do anything with them until I knew the broken tab repair would hold.

clemsontiger, I can live with the chrome side view mirrors, but those door handle covers look absolutely terrible and tacky.

just my opinion, I even have chrome wheels myself....

clemson_tiger

I had a local company called "Headlights Made New" come to my work and do them. It took them like 20mins to do both sides and the fogs and they look, well, new again. I actually bought the kit from NAPA and had a guy that detailed my car when I bought it try it but it didn't look like I thought it should have...as a matter of fact, it sucked. I'd deffinatly pay a professional to do it right. $50 is what it cost me. I didn't trust Wal-Mart to do it, but I'm sure they may do a fine job as well...their a little cheaper too. Anyway, make sure if you get it done that they don't tell you they can't do the fogs because they are glass...they aren't and they can be done...although they are a different plastic than the headlights.

Yea, I tried to remove them once but found out real quick that its not as easy as it looks or sounds, so I left them. They've grown on me now and I don't even notice them...espically since I got the wheels on the car. I think the wheels take attention away from them.
