Allon, it's funny you mention that. I was just deciding what I wanted to do with them. I am thinking either black or color-matched. I'm leaning towards color matched. I am thinking of doing them myself but am a bit scared. Type-S lights are not cheap...

nice progression so far. I like the look of the TL-S a-spec kit, but i just dont like how it doesnt mold flush with the bumper. But this is still really nice.

Thanks I like the sound, but the drone is a bit much. I think I may add a resonator. I bought the springs used from another member so they are already settled.

Yes

Checked with the body shop and rough estimate for KBP colormatch is around $50, LMK.

blacked out headlights like BLACKURA_NY said that would be sick! forget colormatching them you already have the visors done headlights would be overkill. that color looks soo nice when cleaned up. keep it up bro, your car is looking stellar

If you are going to be cooking your headlights sometime soon, we can try to meet up with Rich and do mine too. I'm also scared, but he did his not too long ago.

I think you should hold off on the headlights and finish up the A-Spec kit.

That would be awesome-do your color matched headlights. It would really compliment the colored window sills.
