New tails make a world of a difference. I would keep your setup wingless unless you plan on extensive additional exterior modifications.

Clean ride bro . I'd do the lip spoiler just because of the fact you already have a roof spoiler and to me it looks a tad bit weird like something is missing.

What rear bumper is that? I need a replacement. The owner before me must have snagged it on something. It tore a descent gash above one of my tips.

I think wingless with just a roofie has a certain style and flare to it that I like but I still find myself debating back and forth on a trunk lip. We shall see.

Thanks that was my intention to make it real clean and simple.

Yea its in really good condition with low miles plus the black interior should demand extra coin if I sell one day. The 01+ tails make it look more elegant and sporty.

Thanks. I'm actually leaning towards one that can only be bought in Japan tho.

They sure did. I love my wheels too but I also have my eyes on another set.

19x9.5/10.5 +15 225/245/35. Not sure how much its dropped but I'd say 3 inches more or less. I had the rear fenders shaved slightly pulled and the fronts rolled.

I think you got bored and wanted to change them,

Car looks good.
Honestly, I found myself starring at my 98 tails recently and thought that they looked old and made the car seem older. Someone even thought I had a nissan maxima or altima when she saw my back side. That was when I was like ok these got to go lol.

Muchos gracias for you're compliment and opinion.

I had another cl member help me clear out the amber. Oven bake method, pry, remove, and re-seal.

For a dude with all those sweet mods I'm surprised that you didn't get those tails before.

That's usually the first thing that gets knocked off the check list. But it looks great.

I know! But they honestly took a while for them to finally grow on me. And since I've never tried these, I gave it a shot.
