Just thought I would post some pics I took this evening after spending some time giving my baby some much needed attention. Put the spoiler on; very satisfied.
I love my paint... Pacific Blue Pearl baby.

Let me know what you guys think! Also, next thing I have planned would be wheels/tires. After that I'm doing HIDs and some interior work. Thanks!

You no longer need your other break lap (The small lamp inside of the vehicle behind the rear window) but if you like how it looks it’s all good. I hade the same set up on my old car and my buddy said it looked kind of weird from behind therefore I unhooked it. Anyways, good upgrade!!! Looks good!!!

Oh!! I noticed you have pin stripes. I posted this earlier today to some one. It's a great D.I.Y. if you have extra time on your hands. The pin strips should peel off like tape. If the pin stripes don’t peel off easily, all you need is a blow dryer and a credit card.
Steps:
1.Wash the car or just the pin strip area (You’ll be scrapping off the pin stripes with the credit card therefore any dirt particles will scratch the paint).
2. Blow-dry the pin stripe area with low heat.
3. Slowly scrape the pin stripes off with your credit card.
-For the best results, step 2 and 3 should be done at the same time.
Do this at your own risk. If you don’t feel comfortable doing this, don’t do it.
Be patient. Good luck.

Very nice, where did you get the front plate?
I would disconnect the third brake light too, the one inside teh car, I think 4 brake lights look funny.
I agree with the pinstripe a bit, I took mine off not too long after getting the car. Itwas then that I Found out that I had to restripe it myself, couldn't figure out why, but half of them weren't painted underneith..

take daytime pictures. I can't see your awsome paint. i would keep all the brake lights just to avoid someone hitting me from behind. it might not look great but it avoid accidents.

The pin stripes don’t even look that bad on your car. I just wanted to let you know how to take them off if you were to be interested.
