Wow, wow, wow.....how cool is THAT? Brother, on your Silver TL, that mono-chromatic look is HOT !!!!

Shoot, when you apply the brakes, it takes away from the look. But GREAT job! That will catch on with the Acurazine community!

thanks guys, they were a PITA to cut open and then seal back without damaging the black chrome bezel inside. really worth the work though, now the entire car is silver gray and black on the outside...no more red or amber anywhere on the outside....looks like its on to working on the interior now...exterior is complete.

Brother, outstanding work. I like the little splash of red throughout the exterior. I want to get rid of the amber color in the headlights, which will be done in about a month. Plus, I want to get rid of the amber in the front sidemarker. The rear sidemarker is red-that's what I'm going with on the front too.

Now, since your exterior is complete-give us some full 360 degree pics of your final work.

^Agreed.

Since your exterior is done and flowing nicely together, it's time for a proper photoshoot

ill be doing a photoshoot of the entire exterior of the car this weekend. I need to get an SLR camera to take some really nice shots, cant get my hands on one until the weekend. Thanks again for the compliments guys

Steven Bell, i know what you mean, i couldnt stand seeing the amber all over the car thats why i changed out the LEDs in my rear and front sidemarkers to white and blacked out my headlights. I am putting amber turn signals in the tails however only for visibility purposes and safety reasons. I want people to know im making that left or right turn. but you wont even be able to tell there is a yellow bulb in the casing.

thanks guys...i want to put amber turn signals instead of red like everyone else to make it more visible when i turn as well and i wanted to know if anyone can answer this question.

I have switchbacks in my headlights already and 3ohm 50w resistors on the line so the blink at the normal rate. If i were to put LEDs for the turn signals on the back would my resistors still work or would i need to use a 6ohm 50w resistor instead? Thanks guys if anyone can answer that

those look so good on a silver car. I think they looks the best on SSM and ASM.

Looks really good. Did you use the clear diffuser from the 04-16 tails or no?

Yeah i used the clear diffuser from the 04-06 tails. For some reason it looks really cheap and incomplete without the clear diffusers
