I really wished the HKS didn't have such a plain tip.

I actually love the plain tips. I feel like the F-Sport tips are too long and look awkward without a lip kit. HKS looks fine with the black canisters. I used to hate the HKS, but once I put it on my car that went right out the window. Camouflaging the canisters does help tho.

I say this all the time, USB is the only color I would have taken over SFP but I could not find any within the distance I was willing to go when I was car hunting for the life of me. If I couldnt find SFP I would have gotten OSB. They are everywhere when u pull up autotrader

My only advice is do it one piece at a time. It might be a little pricier but you're going to find a point where you want to stop. I started here:



Wound up here.

Sander I forgot to tell u becareful when U get into ohio. Legal limit for tint on the front windows here is 50%. I already got smacked by the long d ick of the law twice with a $140 ticket each time. I had 20% all around. I had the front redone to 50% 2 months ago. Before that I was rolling down my windows everytime I saw a pig. Even in rain and snow lol.

maybe just bc pigs here are d bags and would rather ticket anybody and everybody for things that are insignificant than actually go out and prevent robberies, murders and such

binhster, I love your wheels!

Back on topic, good you are not blacking out the tails on the black car, I hate how they look, they do look nice on white cars though.
