I think LED's would look really good... However, I'm too lazy and they look so good regardless.

i did it.. the hardest part of it is taking them off.. i sat mine in front of a heater for 20 minutes or so. when i took them apart. i removed all the old glue stuck in between, after that i washed then tails thorughly with soap and water. then put them back together using a marine base sealent(sp?) and finished it off with come VHT clearcoat. =) eric is da man for this

Heyyy, thanks for the compliments guys... It's gonna be even sweeter when you see it's new stance. I just finished installing a set of KYB AGX's and RS*R "race" springs. Not to mention the new clutch setup, IC setup, fuel setup and turbo. Woot!

The exhaust is dual Apexi N1's. I used to really not like them, but they've grown on me recently.

The black car looks really good (great angle to show off the lights, too). As stupid as this sounds, this is the first time I've seen this done. I have another idea for the lights that would work very well with this and a flat-black car. Something very unconventional...

I like the blacked-out look on some cars but with flat black paint I don't like glossy blacked-out lights, so I've got an idea that may look pretty cool.
