^^, ..just wanted to reach my 4k post mark quickly, so I've been whoring it up! And negative on the fixing of the rear lip.. still gotta save up another $200 or so for paint.. but I do have both the rear bumper+lip waiting to be painted.

..thx everyone for the compliments! I took it out for the first time in over 2weeks and I got countless stares while I drove by people. One, they were probably thinking "..look at this moron driving so low with so much snow!" ..and two, "..wow, those lights look tight!"

@ LIPPSTUH's comment! ^^,

yeah, i tried to make plans for the last 2 saturday's, but things keep popping up, so its my fault i can never make it...last weekend i ended up working on my bike and totally forgot about my car.

hopefully soon i will be able to make time to do them. i love the glossy black look, but its hard for me to picture on a SSM TL.

wow your black outs look amazing!
the only difference between a normal black out is that you used gloss black paint?
or did you use clear as well?

and a link to the type of bulbs you have? i'm leaving my amber reflector in but love the look of your bulbs.
thanks in advance.
