welcome to the forum and congrats on your recent purchase.

looks clean man...nothing like a pristine NBP.

don't worry about modding too quickly, just do little things here and there. spend enough time on this forum and you'll see plenty of things you can do.

have fun!

Welcome to the forum.

First cheap mod, albeit a ballsy one, is to black out your headlights the proper way.

What happened to your center caps?

Damn good eye^^^
Only one pic with the headlights and it doesn't even show the full headlight LOL

Everybody starts out somewhere, right?

Car looks nice. Love NBP.

As for the rear badges, I would just remove them.

I didn't want to do anything too permanent to the headlights I just used lamin-x tint.The rims I used plasti Dip on the caps.


Here is a picture of the head lights, not the best too sunny.

Agreed with rossv1.

Black them out properly

Your statement about doing mods to your car that's not permanant will probably change soon.

Agreed it would look better, but for now protects headlights from catching the haze.

You can google it, but I heard headlight film can cause stress cracks in your headlights due to the heat buildup.
Not a pretty sight

Congrats on the car. Not a fan of the black centercaps, but other than that your car is clean. Gotta love dark windows on a black car.

The plasti dip should look good. I don't think I've ever seen anybody with 07-08 stockies painted black. Anxious to see the end results.

I've been looking around and can't find any 07-08 so I guess we will see. I'm addicted to the dip
