Damn. Nice car. Looks good for SSM. It's a shame you have to have a front mount license plate. Get that lip on already!

Yeah i bought the car with that damage. That pic really hides how bad it is, plus the damage is worse on the drivers side, and i have a dent in my drivers side door! that is all being taken care of when the kit is put on

Very nice beginning. Exterior is clean w/ exception to the front plate. Would look even better with cleared headlights. Not a fan of the RJ kit. Keep up the good work though.

Very nice, man! Looks real clean.

I have the same front plate issues except I just got brave a couple weeks ago and took that shit off. Looks tons better. Every time I see a cop I think to myself... "please don't notice the missing front plate!"

Doing a/the headlight mod of some sort would look great too.

I totally agree. I HATE the amber color. I would really like them cleared but im not willing to do it myself. I was having fogging issues on the passenger side headlamp in March for about 3 weeks but it completely went away not even in a wash or rainstorm.

**If anyone in my area has done this before and had it resealed correctly and wants to help me out PLEASE PM me.

Clear diffusers are really hard to find. And if I opened up my headlamps I would consider painting the black part the color of my car, but then I think that would contrast with my black grille and make it stand out too much so then i would maybe have to paint that also.

I have also recently been thinking about tinting the red part only of my tailights with light tint.

Im going to take it off but since its so easy to install ill probably put it on somedays.....i drive around high way too often and thats just another reason for them to pull me over (plus the fact i have tints, clear turning signals in the rear, and 6000K bulbs)

Yes it does look good. I'm not a fan of super dark tint, so I'll be going for the 35% too
