can't really say.all i can tell you is that it's going to be a very involved process and i don't think anyone has ever done it before.

ha ha...that picture of the holes in the strut bar for the tein adjustment looks like mine...drill, oops...missed, drill again. Only difference is I sprayed it black after so the hole is not as obvious.
Sharky...I actually had this thought about a friend's prius that did the red out tails but had to leave the reverse light area. What about covering the entire thing...and then running the wiring from one of the reverse bulbs down and drill a hole in the trunk floor and run it to a CCFL or SUPER bright LED or oldschool directional foglight or something to light up for safety. That will give you that clean rear look on the trunk!

^cool idea, really cool idea actually.

HOWEVER, i do have the reverse HID's with tailgater switch and i have way too much fun using it on tards that follow me super close.

but it'll say "tuna can racing team" or something sharklike...
yeah, my engine covers cover up the mess i made too!
Thanks fellas, swoosh, no problem...I'll tell you what type of guy I am. I bought MW3 2 days ago and still haven't opened it. Because I like the anticipation as much as the gratification of playing. I can wait.
Sharky...you know what...I did it too...relay and slim ballast HIDs and tailgate switch and it may have ended up being a coincidence but immediately i fried my #6 fuse. no control of remote lock no interior lighting, no alarm...and it would continue blowing fuses even after pulling the hid's out...then, in a semi lucid moment i jumpered it out to see what would happen and my door courtesy lights stoppped working but fuse #6 would then hold a fuse withouth blowing it. I decided to take it out becasue it was too much of a coincidence...plus, in South Florida...there's a high chance of having someone retaliate for something like HID's in the face.

Aaron, just so you know, my second attempt at wrapping my rear garnish using my "custom" stencils was an epic FAIL
...looked like a child cut out the reverse light holes...and I was so sure it would work out this time...gotta try something else...gonna spend the winter months figuring something out...maybe paint??? Lemme know if you have any "Wise" solutions in the meantime Also, you said your ftont grille was no longer going to be black...care to explain??

good guess! but no, nothing sticky or vinyl or flamboyant.
tuna can racing team!?
that sucks man. exactly what happened to me.
i'm taking mine into a custom vinyl shop in the next few weeks and have them do it right. i'm done with the headaches. i'm also having them do a little something extra while i'm there...
i'll post results when i can get down to their shop.
oh, and the front grill...well i can't really say. stay tuned.

I love being kept in suspense.
GREAT pictures rolling though...SERIOUSLY.
PS...do you already have switchbacks? I bought some off a member but when I received them, realized they are for a type s...not base. 1157's instead of 7443. Their JLC ones...

I'm definitely staying tuned for this. I took the easy route and kept my front turns amber so they'd match my front side marker. Now I'm thinking I want switchbacks + a modded white front sidemarker that blinks amber just like you mentioned.

Everything looks good but the front end of your car looks like it has a fat pimple on its face. Takes that damn sticker off brotha your car looks 10 times more aggressive without it
if you must put it on then do on the corner of the windshield not dead center
