I know the asphalt FR-S would still stick out among that group but its a little less bait IMO. Was really a toss up for me but yea, that's my opinion

The one thing that is making it more dificult is the interior. Love Asphalt color but just looking at the firestorm with the red and black interior is making my decision really hard. Does the interior look good with the asphalt?

For me personally, yes it does. I love red accents on a darker car.

In the picture with the rear triangle light on it totally looks like Edgar Allen Poe's face.

^ agreed! I've started to like asphalt more on cloudy days and in the rain. On cloudy days the flake obviously dont jump out at you and it blends nicer with my CF and black headlights and in the rain the glass is that green color i love!

anyway, here is one from last night. I just got my strobes and I was testing them out.

Thanks! Yeah I had some cash from tax returns and figured I would go for it. I had been wanting to try out strobes for a long time. That photo is the first photo ive taken with strobes... Im really surprised with how well it turned out

Fancy can you send me a picture of your headlights? I want to do them black did you do them yourself?

[Kuzuri]

Yes I did them myself. I wanted to do it with my tC when I had it as well, but I was so nervous about doing it that I chickened out. Well I decided to just go for it this time and it was so simple. If youre thinking about doing it, just do it. you wont regret it.

Just ran outside and took this for ya

Came and found what I was looking for, thanks! That definitely looks good, been contemplating whether or not to do this for my asphalt, looks like you confirmed my decision Now, to summon the courage and time haha

What kind of paint did you use?

Yeah it definitely makes the car look darker and more mean. I used krylon dual paint & primer in satin black and krylon satin clear

Yeah it definitely does make it look aggressive, how come you added the satin clear? Is it for gloss?

I just wanted to use clear coat on them to make sure the finish was durable. and I used satin black paint, so thats why i used satin clear. I didnt want full on matte black on my headlights because ive seen some cars with that and it looked cheap... it could have just been the persons fault... but i like the look i achieved with a satin finish. looks oem.
