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.

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

+1. I would wait until I had all pieces painted.

And I think 03TL-S has front and rear.

LGM is a great color. My brother has one with the OEM lip kit and it looks very nice. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished result of yours!
