First update of 2010

Just made some updates to my current ride.

-First off, I reverted back to my 2001 Tails. Will be tinting out the orange by the end of the month.
-Secondly, I started my road to a lip kit. I installed my rear lip and side lip. Will paint once I get a front lip.
-Lastly, I painted my shiftgate from the ugly grey to a glossy black. I have an LED template coming in the mail to complete the shiftgate.

Before:




After:




(The shiftgate looks flawless in person)

Not bad for a 17year old who doesnt have a job, dont you think? Comments welcome.

Future Plans: Installing LED shiftgate, Front Lip, Painting Lip Kit, 3A Tips, Wheels, and a drop (hopefully by summer).

Those tails look good . I probably wanna have a red on bottom and black tint on the orange part (just a light tint). I got a little tired of the clear since ALL new cars have cleared tails.

I agree, but I didnt feel like having the peices sitting in the garage collecting dust. I dont plan on getting a front lip for a while. I'd like to see pix and would like to know how much it cost you to get it painted. Im looking for a good shop right now.

x2, it is just like the cars out there with unpainted bodykits

needs to be taken off till they get painted, then you can put it on, even if you don't get a front lip for a while;
a missing front lip won't be nearly as noticeable as a mismatched painted bodykit, and will proably only be noticeable for the car lovers out there compared to every body out there including their grandmas
