, the tail light tint is looking good, the tips are looking good, get a kit, black out the headlights, get a nasty drop, and you'll be set.

You have to remove the grille from the car, I did the bumper removal way because we were installing my Icebox anyways so it was off.. I tried the other way but those damn clips on the bottom are tricky to get off, well for me atleast..

The top strip is easy. there are 4-5 10mm bolts holding it on. When you open the hood, just put your fingers under the grille strip and you will feel them. And i think you slide the strip a little to the left or right after unscrewing.

Then i bought Duplicolor black spray paint (not NBP, just straight black) and some clear coat from Pep-Boys..
Unscrewed all parts of the grille and seperated them and painted them (except for the ---A--- part obviously).
--I didnt sandpaper the grille before i painted it which i might do whenever i redo the grille.. put 2 coats of black i think and 2-3 of clear..

Theres a little mini DIY for ya lol

If this doesnt help, theres a few other posts on doing this mod, just search for them..

Haha, aint nothing to it, but to do it. So how did you paint the grill? By spray can, or real painting method?

I was thinking of getting the V2 Volley, and i heard equal things about both of them..but at the end i just decided to go with the CT..its great by the way, and not too loud until it hits V-Tech, then it sounds niiiice

I still need to get LED's for the vanity lights but just dont know where to find them, so one day i was just bored and decided to try something (temporarily until i get the bulbs) the ghetto way. i put blue marker on the lights just to see how it would look, and it changed the color from the ugly stock yellowish to a nice hyper white so i just left it lol.. but eventually im still gonna get the bulbs when found..
