As do I! They don't appear to be dangerously dark so I'd say it was a success.

thanks! I think since the picture was in direct sunlight they may look a bit lighter...they are a bit darker than that, ill see if I can get a better picture up, I think that shad in direct sunlight looks perfect

I'm liking the darker red tail lights as well. How did you make them darker than before?

I had red vinyl on earlier but it started to peel so I removed it and used VHT red tint spray and did it myself. Just did a few heavy coats

I chose 6k since it had a light hint of blue but more white, I didnt like the too blue look

UPDATE 10/2/2012

I recently got my car Opti-Coated by Mike and man does it make the car look shiny makes cleaning the car a breeze and looks 10x better thanks mike!

Heres a pic of the car after opti coat... should have taken a picture right after i got it done ( this is a week after not washing and the sides still look nice and shiny I just washed the car and looks like new!)

Installed KW V3 coilover system

so far im loving the kw's, handling feels much much better...feels like im more in control even though I can still feel the tail wanting to slide out a little, much easier to correct. Car definitely feels planted and gives me more confidence in cornering. I feel like there is so much more to these struts but all I need are some stickier tires! Can't wait to try these babies at the track! Ride comfort somewhat similar to stock, still need to mess around with settings but to be honest, it is only a BIT more rough but no where near unbearable or much noticeably uncomfortable ( you could always adjust it anyways) . I'd highly recommend these for those who want DD comfort with performance. ONTO THE PICS!

Looks great!

The slippery slope begins. Need tires to compliment the suspension, how about a turbo kit for more power, maybe a small cage....etc.
