interesting look you have there. I'm kinda liking the black/yellow theme. the grill and trunk would look better black chrome.you should have some piaa ions in your clear sides to match if you don't already.

they really look more yellow in person.

I love the way your inner lights look tell me more about your car Wheels/Headlights/Inners How did you get them yellow? You ever think about a L-sportline Grill or Ltuned?

Also was your car in Vegas about 8months ago I saw it on Jones all the time.

Very interesting grill, looks expensive too.

I think I like it, but can't tell if it will look right on my car without the billet below.

If you can't find the black pearl plating, look for a quality powdercoater and get it done in black chrome powdercoat. I had the grill mesh done on mine front and rear and looks good.

Chuck, the info I received about the side marker lights (at least here in Cali) from the police is this: any color except red or blue is ok in the front as long as they are only visible from the side (not projecting front or rear) If within 24"(or something close maybe he said 27") of the rear of the car then they must be red.

a darker look for those billets will really set it offf nicer man. i would just have them powdercoatted in blk pearl, you should have at least some shops local that do that kind of stuff, did you try looking in the yellow pages? Nice look by the way with the dark evil theme.
