Freshened up the front end a little.
i recently was thinking of getting a CF hood but, scratched that idea and went to repaint the hood along with the grille. and since my front bumper and headlights weren't in the best of shape, i spruced them up a bit. all the paint was done by a local shop named J&R Body works and the headlights were cleared and blacked by Rego Sport Tuning in Glendale, Ca. all of the work is well-done.
tell me what you think.

edit: please excuse the big ass pics. Photobucket has been fucking up on me lately. my settings are correct but it still loads big and little pictures.

front end looks beautiful Luis. They did a great job! The CL without the amber diffuser in the corners make all the difference in the world! Your car now looks fresh and updated. I wouldnt even bother tinting the tails, thats just my opinion. If you bought the 03 tails no one would know what year your car is.
Are you planning on getting drilled/slotted rotors for the rears? The only problem with all that fresh paint is that you'll notice every single rock chip upfront. I often need to touch up my ronjon front grille because of the chips which is why ill be powdercoating it soon.
Nice work man, I always enjoy your threads!

Looks killer mang! Love the headlight treatment. Your rims just look so damn good on NBP too. Did you roll your fenders yourself or have them done somewhere? Just noticed how aggressive the rear roll is in one of the picts. Good stuff!

nope. the CT drop is pretty mellow. so there is no need to roll fenders with my setup or for a camber kit. i am thinking of getting a coilover setup though. that or those Tein S-Tech springs.

damn. i'm away for a little bit and you guys go nuts in here. even on a Friday night. i'm really flattered.
i sure hope so.
the shop i took them to charged $150. but it obviously costs more when they are still on the car and they have to take them off on back on.
