Jeez...that's a helluva thing to say! Thanks, man! I have a problem where I start thinking about what needs to be done and what I'd elect to do or try out and I literally can't nap, or play COD, or watch TV on the couch until I go do it. Kind of a bad thing, actually.
Thank you!
As mentioned below, it's a CSL spoiler.
Thanks, Thanh! I actually have a few others of the output I'm about to post. Got inspired by Kurt to take some high res of the cutoff line later at night before Breaking Bad!
And I love you. And your thread title updates. Thanks, man...very much.
Well thank you very much!

Great shots Jeremy....car is looking amazing....
I am digging the amber in the reflection shots....if thats how they look in real life, then I am digging them.....some shots do show a little chrome popping out but am guessing its just the camera playing tricks....
but none the less, great shots...

Thank you, Anil.
Yeah, funny, that's why I originally kept thinking that I wished you could see it in person. But the reflection is actually a great indication of how they look in person. If you see them at an angle, obviously...with full sun on them then they're not as visible but the headlights really never look very chromey since it's not like that until the car is totally off.

Great pics! It's amazing how you always manage to keep the car looking fresh and different without straying too far into "heavily modified". Love it!

Yummy, do you think she'd have a problem with me FINALLY off of Acurazine? This site and this car have been the absolute bane of her existence when it comes to me. 
Aman, thank you, brother...I have hit a wall, where I'm not willing to spend more than I already have, so that keeps me semi practical. Can't keep up with the Jones' and not eventually become that guy that says I sank too much money into that car. I already feel that way now and if I break up how much pleasure and fun I've had modding this car by about 5 years, it ends up being semi reasonable as a hobby.
I do strive for that though so seriously, thank you...subtle changes that don't go too far. I've had a few instances that make me feel like I have gone too far and I end up reversing them.

Car looks fantastic as usual!
And thanks for this shot! I was so indecisive over the weekend about my tails. I'm glad I went with what I went with.

I decided to go with the super reds and not the red stripes.
When off the stripes look amazing. All four "areas" being dark. But, like in the pic above, you get two lit up and then two dark areas. I'm not too keen on that look I guess.
But, I love the supers and I'm glad I went that direction. Too bad I started ripping into my interior instead of finishing the tails off.

Those red stripes are pretty cool...I think I still like the rockstar tails the best tho. But I also understand the need to change things up, and it's awesome you can keep doing that!

If you ever make your way down here, we'll set up a little mini meet around the date! I don't know about my shots, they're hit or miss, sometimes they look okay, sometimes not as much!

Thanks Meko! Naw, just swap out the SVS for the CBI while you still can!
If your Dad thinks they're too yellow, swap them! Same old fog bulbs, the 11 watt ones are extremely bright. The problem with looking hard to see during day is that amber/orange is one of the colors of the sun so when the sun rays are out, it disguises them. 6K white is not, so it's very apparent all the time.
