wtf that's pretty legit photoshop man

exhaust isnt my thing though, maybe if teh tips were slightly bigger, change to sports rear bumper, and you get a pretty good look

smoke tails are meh

try smoking/blacking out the chrome bar in the back instead

debadge looks good

SEEYOU2CREW, OUT.

maybe the TL's exhaust for double exhaust tips? http://www.motortrend.com/photo_gall.../photo_21.html

the square shape instead of round may look better. i was driving behind one the other day and thought i liked them

Whats wrong with smoked tails?

I did fronts and rears...can't really see in my build thread cuz they all night shots but yea lol. I used the lightest LaminX film too at 5%

No1 would even notice them unless I parked next to a stock TSX

LaminX "Smoked" headlights are the lightest reduce light output by 5% I did the fogs in yellow...slight green look but I've gotten over it lol...lol they are darker I dunno how else to explain it. If I take day pics anytime soon I'll post em in my thread

Not bad Photoshop(ing). Though a couple of quick tips since i've used the product for about 9 years now.

Use the pen tool to mask out the windows, create a new layer and fill with black, then change the blend mode to Overlay or Darken, drop the opacity and you have perfect tinted windows every time. Though the blend mode differs for each car.

Mask your car so you only modify your car in the image, to show the results a bit more.

On the TSX part I like the dual/double exhaust, though not sure how it would look in real life on a car of this style. I imagine that on a Ferrari or high-end sports car that need to get rid of that much exhaust.

IMO the car needs contrast.

Not a fan of the smoked look either, if you HAVE to do it, go super light, like MrNc has it, otherwise i like the contrast on this color, and tbh im just not a fan of smoking/blacking tails in general

If you find dual exhaust tips that will fit in the inlet without modifications, they will have to be super tiny and look kinda lame.

Drull did it right, and if i could get his tips on the car easily id do it in a heartbeat

so i was talking with some friends and we came upon my headlights. right now im getting a "too much chrome" vibe and im thinking about getting the housing blacked out. i did a lil photopoop and this is what it came out to be.

the black in the pictures is way to dark than what i would actually be but just a quick mock up

what do you guys think?

probably not lol. remember that guy said he received bad customer service when he went back the second time? haha

i know someone in my school that can do it for you for 100 though. he's on this forum as well with a tl-s. search up "paperboy" and tell him ed from UCR sends you.

no dont do it. just take off the orange reflector and call it a day. you need the chrome to give the CBP some contrast.

i can give you a better deal. ill do it for $300

I think in Euro is this what you call low beam. Its the light that comes on in the first position. Its a white SMD. We got different lights. Your low beams is where your sidemarker is, or am I wrong? Ed explained it to me ones, but I forgot it.LOL
