too much black the way it is... reminds me of a camaro or something...

but it looks nice... i just think you need a little more of something to compliment it though... maybe it's time for a body kit?

I like it if you're going to go the "blacked-out" look. Also, plenty of threads on how to mod your headlights too.

honestly, that looks fantastic. your single rear emblem brings it all together if you ask me. i have seen a few of these set ups before and not liked them. but, that looks fantastic.

If you had a body kit, your rear bumper would be toast...

Nice tail lights!

I took it to this local mod spot out here - they only charged me 40. I know i could have done it myself, but i honestly dont have the free time to do it or anything else. IVE BEEN WANTING TO CLEAN MY HEADLIGHTS SO BAD WITH THE OVEN TRICK, but man, i dont want to **** it up. Someone help me with 2 things, first the headlight situation (pm me a thread or something) and i also want to change the shifter setup. I have the standard center console setup and i want to upgrade to the ones that were in the 99's. SOMEONE HELP! i think it looks a hell of alot more luxury like that.

And again, thanks for the compliments. The single emblem is my favorite part, even though i have a sc400, alot of people think i took off the sign to fool people, until i happen to open the hood lol
