UPDATE 10/2/2012

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

let me know if interested....

Looks great. Where did you get the vinyl for the tail lights? Thinking about doing that and really tempted to do the black headlight mod.

Killer shot :thumbsup:

What kind of (roof) vinyl is that?

Love it. Black roof looks awesome. Cars like yours always make me think twice about my choice for white.

What he said.

Nice, planning to do the black roof as well :D Is your roof vinyl matte, or glossy? Looks glossy but just wanted to make sure.

Why did you do your reverse lights in red?

Looks gloss to me as well and looks great! Nice touch.:thumbup:

what did you use to wrap your taillights? I LOVE that look!

Every detail looks great man! Congrats

Looks really nice. I'd like to do the same thing on a Hot Lava.

I did it at premium auto styling, the black headlights are one of my favorite mods..but it took a long time

gloss black

:party0030::thanks:


you're right it is gloss :thumbsup:

well the place that i got my tails done threw it in for free so why not? haha

its a red vinyl overlay meant for doing stuff like tailights...i love it

thanks again for the shark fin :D that plate frame looks sick, ill def let you know
