Haha, yeah, I don't understand why people are into the "car jaundice" yellow tint just as much as people who think slamming the car is better than just lowering it normally.

Agreed. A buddy keeps telling me to do yellow to "stand out" and I'm just like "I ALREADY STAND OUT ENOUGH."

If your going to do black then please do it correctly. Bake and take apart the lights don't spray the lens like most would do tinted tailights.

Yeah, I agree. Tinting headlights a dark color ruins the glossy color and the light being able to come out in my opinion.

For those side skirts and the front lip, did you use 3m tape or were some screws required?

Yellow is too close to amber and would likely get you pulled over here.
Besides:

I initially tried 3m tape but it wouldn't stick so I just said fuck it and drilled a lot of holes. Honestly, if you flipped my car over, the installation looks like it was done by a 5 year-old.

Blasted through a bunch of snow so far and never noticed that. Mind you not a lot of hills around here.
Could there have been ice ridges in the snow?
