I don't want to butt in but... I will. You took two pictures, one of before and one of after, of a subject and process that has been covered hundreds of times. To me, it looks like you're just trying to show off your car that you bought in the almost exact same shape. Just make a "Look at the pictures of my bought, not built, car," and stop trying to hide behind the "Tail light swap ***two pictures***" thread title.
In my honest opinion, I think the car needs quite a bit of work to look good. But replacing the tails is a good start. So kudos to you.
I got a longgg wayyy until i get close to that.
Good luck, not trying to be an ***.

Im not trying to show off my car. There is nothing to show off. I was super happy about getting rid of the old shitty tail lights and finding s5's for the price/condition they were in. If i was trying to show off the car i would have claimed the work done to it myself. The car is no where near nice. It needs more body work than you know. The car is pretty much stock except for the exterior. Its what i could afford at the time and im happy with it. Last time i checked, "pictures" meant more than one. There is more than one. Hence the title of the thread. Sorry you guys feel that way and have bad feed back towards me. I thought this forum was for posting progress and discussing things about our cars? Correct me if im wrong?

swapping taillights does not deserve a thread, if it was something unique then yeah thread worthy. that's what renton and gordinirx7 are trying tell you. they are not trying to offend you and yes this is a place to discuss things.

Good start, Take the wing off, get a chizel and take all the bondo out of the molding strip, spend a few weeks re-working the body line, put some nice moldings back on, get a lip or at least scrape all the over spray off the thing thats on there. Lower it more. these are all things that can be done with just a couple bucks and some labor.

Like Dad said. Make the car how you want. Don't listen to other peoples criticism. If you want to spend a fortune on stickers and such, do it.
Because in the end, you are happy with the car, even if no one else is.
We are all pretty biased to our own opinion over here. Haha
