No..not really but wouldn't be as much worth it to cruise out there for just an hour or two unless you had other stuff on your agenda.

That's how I would feel.

Good thing i didnt go though, cause i'd be jealous of his ATLP.

I think when I get a job i just want to get the type s exhaust so I'll be silent again.

Eh i dont know about the headlight. I was talking about the grill
How do you put it on the car? I was thinking it would look sick on my mom's accord but the grill doesnt have room to put it on.

I feel like going out and buying it now

Tow Hook is looking good.

Hard to install?

Took mine off too...just got to remember to be careful with rock chips up the sides.

What's that stripe around the bottom of your grille?

Yeah just go over and pick some up.

Comes in various widths.

Run about $5 a roll.

Usually the rolls don't come with much pin striping material so make sure you get enough if you have multiple projects.

What I will tell you from experience... Pep Boys carries more selection of this type of stuff.

Once I had to visit #6 Kragens and still couldn't find the right stuff.

Pep Boys...first time every time I have found it.

I like it with black.

But should be repeated somehow...like in the wheels or something.

Not just some random red stripe...

Im thinkin that it wont look as good on the cross bars becuase on the left and right its curved so the pin stripe wont be able to fit in as good at the ends..
I'm liking the red and black theme. Wonder what else I could do... I think theres one TL with black rims and he has a red strip on his tires...

^ Now imagine trying to perfect mold that to your chrome trim and then use an "exacto blade" to cut away the overlap!

Yes you inspired me. I think it was easier to put on my grill cause I have a little area that I put mine on and it doesnt look like you have it on yours.
I got my first try!
