It's incredible how the A-Spec kit transforms the car dramatically. Do you have the A-Spec suspension?

You're right Tech...it IS a day and night difference. It looks great. You might consider darkening/tinting your headlights and tails too. If would finish off the look for sure.

Absolutely! Tints will make a world of difference. Here's my Type S with 20% tints all around and 6/10 half tints (20%) from BlueBatmobile.net.

I like the look on my Silver Type S. On your NBP....killer!

Can you see through the tint from the outside (at least a little) during the day with 20%? I would like to get that percentage but don't want to be hassled by the cops.

Yes you can-you can see inside a little from the outside. Then sitting inside the car and looking out-no problems either. I am so glad I went with the 20% tints instead of the legal 35%....perfect for yours too! I'm not sure what's legal in Georgia, but definitely go for it if you can.

Then:

"The Blackening" and drop:

Midwayz: dubs, chrome,

Black on Polished 19 X 8 and 9.5s

Now- Flat Black 19s, everything that was chrome on the car is now flat black as well as all the trim around the side windows. And there's a red "kill stripe" on the front for aesthetic purposes
