Got some new taillights, a few photos..

I would have taken more photos but the wind chill was around 0 if not below. Got a set of tails from nate_0022, I love how great they look on my car!!! The wheels that are on it right now, are my winter set, yes they are different colors, they look a lot better when the car is moving.






Here is a couple shots of my newly installed 5000k HIDs Reverse Lights

Rob and Black? Freudian slip?

Tails look good.

somewhat agree'd...there is tastefully done and then there is blacked out to the max, Max.

people seem to have a hard time finding that balance between what looks good and what is obnoxiously overdone.

I don't like blacked out cars. In pics they always look like black blobs, you can't even see the car. There needs to be some contrast I think. I would have left the tails stock

Hey Brian tails look good. Get some day pics so they can see the taillights better when you get some time. The tails were built by Ack, they were to dark for me and I had some fitment issues with the lights, and didn't feel like cutting the stud holes to make them fit.

This is what they look like guys, they're not completely blacked out. Maybe a tad darker than pictured.

What's up with the different colored wheels? Barney on one side and a partially used tampon on the other.

What's hanging from the rear bumper? Tow hook?

Congrats on the tails though. They look good!

I was obviously joking about the idiot part and I'm not going to fight over something stupid. But they do look blue to me.

I was going by what Ack told me. He said the ones I'd be getter were the ones pictured above. When I received them they were darker than I anticipated.

I did the wheels different colors to be different and make people look at them twice and figure out why. I will take some more photos of the wheels during the day today. As for the car, when I am taking photos of it at night the car looks a lot darker, and the lights I was parked under screwed with the camera, everything looks a lot darker. I will go take some photos today and post them up soon.

Alright man I realize these are a set of winter wheels but just to save the overall image of the TL from turning into what people generally think of civics couldnt you just have left them silver? lol Everytime I log onto acurazine im amazed at the things I see people do to their cars lol.

I know not everyone likes my wheels, and I really dont care about the crap you are saying about my car, I am not going to your cars and saying what I dont like. I have respect for others, I do understand if you say I dont care for your wheels but leave it as that, we are all adults here. I like the wheels right now, they are just fun.

Here is another pic of the wheels


This is what my car looked like last summer.

You think that's rough. Premium in Cali just hit $4.09 and it's going up. Regular is $3.89
