Same situation with me. I had a Honda Odyssey for about 1 year and got rid of it for a loaded black R500 and never looked back. good luck with the modding.

Will work on smoking the side markers this weekend.
I got a Kicker L5 and a JL 250 to put in too.

Is that light reflection coming from the grill? It looks like you painted the rear of the blades only. Can you get a shot without the reflection?

Looks really nice. I'm replacing the yellow blinkers, and amthinking of painting the grills also; how do you smoke the side markers?

I'm going to use Testor's 1634 Tint Spray. for the side markers.
