to do it, not really, most people would never notice (especially if a black overlay) cause it is already dark color car, now if it was a white car (or lighter colored) i would saw go for it
but if you like a chrome overlay or something it would definatly be different but i would kinda need someone to photoshop it first to know if i would say "go for it"

Turn up the power, and maybe get headers, or what about mufflers and that stuff? I know TL-S does have a nice stock exhaust but the sound can always be improved ! with Tsudo mufflers, I love those for the Type-S models.

Car looks amazing man, everything flows perfect!
I think the roof will look out of place if its black, keep it how it is and go for performance.
Maybe one day we will meet up, I am up in Palm Beach.

yeah to expand on that, get either black chrome or gold plated and i am not just talking about just the grill and badges but also the door handles, the chrome inside the headlights/lights, get the wheels plated or have them painted so they are match and "new chrome"
and that includes the chrome around the windows too

I think a black roof would look good.

3000K fogs, Nokya yellow 9005 high beam bulb, LEDs, and performance mods.

Legend calipers would be good too to increase the stopping power.

Take if from someone who has done almost no mods and intends to keep it that way, your car looks sweet as is. I tend not to like too much bling on a car as it can detract from its clean lines when over done. Boring to some here no doubt, but I'm more of a purist. I also like cars that have the right balance of exterior tweaking. But too much and your cooking a pot of rice and, man, I hate rice .

Your car has a ton more exterior mods than mine (none) but it still maintains a clean look. Ya done good, bro, now stop. There is a point of diminishing returns on cosmetic mods and you already reached it imo. I'm with these guys, do some performance mods instead.

and you are only 19 (as far as the ), , but yeah every thing basically on the exterior is a factory option or dealer installed except the wheels, (painted headlights were on the a-spec in canada, factory)

You can look for the bumpersticker that says "Don't laugh mister your daughters in here". I had that on my black mustang GT and my dad had to trade cars for a month after I ran from the cops on campus. He worked for the school district and they made it a point to tell him to remove it or not park there. I was pissed.

not entirely true

seen this car a bunch a times in person since Bill copped it. I even tried to steal his wood trimmed steering wheel..........

tints - not factory
HID's - not factory
Wheels - not factory.
suspension - not factory
Headlights - not factory
lip spoiler - not factory
de-badging - not factory
Lip kit - Factory

7 to 1 ratio is not exactly "everything basically on the exterior is a factory option or dealer installed"

you count window tint, different color HID's and removing badges serious aftermarket add-ons?

my grandparents have window tint...

ps. the headlights are factory.. they're just painted...

aftermarket headlights would be projectors, halos.. etc...
