Yes !!! Giving it a dark theme is the best idea for your car.

I'm giving it very little contrast.

Only color I want to keep is blue.

My tail lights will be the smoked ones like on Rockstar143's car.

I like the Type-S too, but not as much as the smoked ones, plus I'm trying to keep the 2 apart.

I prefer the Type-s Tail lights too . but for a black themed car the best way to go is with the smoked lights !

UD, on a black or a white car, i highly suggest the rear tail lights like the one Aaron/Tyler have.....if i had to do it all over again, i would spend some $$$ and get em done from ACK....

headlights are easy, give it a go yourself....they are pretty simple...

Yeah the headlights I'll end up doing some time. I'm hoping me and J can get together to do that.

The headlights aren't hard, they are just time consuming.

I'm just gonna drink mojitos and lay in a lawn chair while telling Austin how handsome he is to build his confidence.

I tried doing the tails myself and even after trying 2 different approaches I was fkn baffled at how to do it. If I were going to have them modded, I'd got with Ack...but I love the USR ones plenty as they are. I have the type S's in the attic, but MAN, they are played out and the chrome on the bezel is kinda "meh" to me.

I hate the chrome in Type-S tails. Black bezel FTW, but for me smoked tail with black bezel takes all.

And thanks J I hope I can get it done soon. A-Spec first though!

Ummm...I guess the fact that I'm coming up to help YOU do something to your car and I am wasting 2 hours driving up and back! Broward County is where it's at...just wish I could work on my car without a hassle in my community.

That might be an option, Austin...we'll see when the time gets closer. I don't know if I'm ready to have you in my dungeon just yet. (my garage).



Dude...that's a LOT of condensation in that bish! I had that problem once when I didn't put the outside edges in first and once the car sat out in the sun, they pushed back open.
