I'm digging the clear side markers. Where did you get them and how much of a PITA was it to install?

Hey john1c,

What kind of trunk spoiler you have on your car? Where did you get it? Is it painted lip spoiler?

Front Grille

Did you install the matte black grille yourself or pay to have it done? Where can I buy one? Thanks.

A lot of people here say they do it themselves but you just gotta be careful with the tabs. Go to ebay, theres a bunch of them!

Yeah, I've seen plenty of them on eBay but they are all over the place in price so I was wondering if there was a material difference between the $125 and the $200 versions.

There are black films and smoke films that will either completely or partially darken side markers and taillights. You can by these films on eBay.

How much did the rims run you and are you thinking about blacking out your tail lights?
