OMG! ME want!!! drools!!! haha. Did you smoke your turn signals or did you slight tint them blue? Or is that part of the effects of the picture? Also, how did you tint your rear lights? I kinda like that smokey colored and would like to replicate your work =) Can you lead me in the correct direction pretty please! =D

smoking the back taillights and possibly adding some blue tint to the headlights were definitely next on my to-do list for mine.
i was really curious about how the tailights would look smoked, and im diggin em man.
just a suggestion. put black vinyl on the roof and color match the grille and you'll have the perfect PWP TSX
thanks for the photos dude.

Someone requesting the normal shot, so I took some 1 hour ago.
Sorry for crippy quality of pic, I dont have better camera, gotta borrow my fd's D80 to take better pics.
A lot of you guys interesting about the tint headlight/taillight,
I didnt do it by myself, I ask the tinting window guy to do it for me, perfect cut and excellent quality!
I was choosing the light grey as my tint headlight but that guys misundertand w/ me, so the headlights and fog are blue-ish now, however it is actually surprising me how it look!

Before I did the tint tail and head, I was curious if it is against law and cop may staring on you. In Alberta, as long the care behind you can see the brake light clearly, it will not have any problem. As same as headlights.

The guy just did it both side in 30 mins, it doesnt need to take off something to tint it. After no washing car for 2 days the tint is sticking on the headlights. Whenever you don't feel like to the look anymore, you can just bring a hair dryer and take it off!
I got my rim online in 1010tires, I was going to get the rim from tirerack but the custom fee will be aweful..

Hah...guys
I just totally love my tint headlights/fog lights!
I installed the PIAA fog lights, everyone knows that they are never matched to OEM HID lights,
after the tints, it delicately change HID and fog to the same (or almost the same) color~
Some of u guys recommand to paint match the grills,
I think I am going to purchase Mugen Carbon grill since I got a connection in Japan.

don't see how there would be rubbin on his rims they're pretty thin, all though I love the way the car looks, and the black out on the tail lights, thats definitely something i need to find someone to do for me.. my tint shop wouldn't do it when i asked back when they were tinting my windows.. guess i found a shitty shop lol, Loving the car though I think it looks good the way it is lolol, the mugen grills though look hot

Does 18x8, 40 offset RAZR fit?
Davan, any fit problems with the 40 offset on your wheels? A local dealer here tells me they won't fit, looks like they fit on your car!

I'm thinking of lowering mine.
I also have 18 inch enkei's.
annyyy problem with rubbing/bottoming out/hitting curbs/etc?
I just graduated from college and got this...so I'm a little tentative to do something that would result in the 'rents castrating me.
Also - (this goes out to everyone) - lowering a car like this one voids warranty on anything associated with springs/suspension..right? So, has any1 had problems going to dealership for a fix and the dealership holding springs accountable?

ALSOOOO - when getting your wheels, did you ever think 19s, or 18s all the way?
I got my rims originally and was content with 18s, but now seeing more and more owners putting on 19s I feel like 18s might be small for a car like this.
Thats why I feel like lowering the car will also make the rims look larger to the eye?

19" looks solid when you're not going to for the tuner look. You'll see that most the 18's people have on there cars are wheels that are tuner / racer inspired and are usually awkward colors, or not shiny. the 19 / 20 " wheel owners aren't going so much for the race inspired looks but the vip / classy / stealth look not trying to draw too much attention to the vehicle but when you sit next to it at a red light you can't help but stare.
