Debadged and 3A tips installed...

Just installed the 3A tips and did the mufflers and back half of the exhaust black with the high temp spray paint. Let me know what you think....

I'm not feeling the tail light tint, but the tips look good.

meh, i knew i'd get flamed by people for the tint, but i dont have the money for the 02-03 tails and this was a cheap fix for the ugly 99-01 tails. i think the tint looks better on lighter color cars, but my camera is also shitty and the pics do not do them justice. i am eventually gonna open up the headlights and black them out too, so i think it will go good with my theme.

your car looks pretty nice... if you really want to tint the tails that badly, buy a set of 02-03 tali lights and only tint the red. Leave the clear part uncovered... the white highlights the curves of the car and without some color there, it loses some of it's beauty because there's nothing there to break up all that space... the TL's ass isn't that small

i think you pulled the tips out a little too much. push it in a little bit and it will look better.

Read above

Money is kind of short right now since I'm at FSU, but I am eventually going to get a kit.. I'm thinking 02-03 front bumper molded to my headlights, OEM front lip, OEM SS, and WW rear. I probably will do the 02-03 tails one day too, just not any time soon.
