Went on a little cruise to meet a couple buddies from another forum today and while I was out I snapped a couple new pics! Nothing fancy by any means but those are soon to come!

Sweet looking ride! Did you night shade the marker lights or are they covers? It looks great. Does NJ let you tint the windows? Your car would look great with blacked out windows.

Yes the corner markers and the tail lights have night shade on them! and NO! Jersey doesnt allow tinting ANY component on the car... So I have choosen not to tint the windows! I feel that it attracts MUCH less negative attention from the LEO's.

How tough was the night shade process? i am doing it this weekend. It's a shame you can't tint. I love C4's with tint, but I don't blame you. Nobody wants unnecessary attention with the LOE's. Your car is sweet though. The red calipers pop through those black rims. I won't ask anymore night shade questions I promise , I don't want to change theme of this thread.

NO MAN! No worries at all! Very simple... I always wash ALL the parts with rubbing alcohol or acetone FIRST... Make sure they are completely dry. Then apply coats accordingly. I dont think I would spray any more then 4 or so coats... Then it starts getting EXTREMELY dark.

I live in CT too and the roads are crap. I had to take my car for a little run the other day to get my fix though. How are the roads in NJ? Car looks spotless after a cruise.

The pot wholes are obsurd! BUT I got the car back home before they put the brine down today because we are expecting more snow tomorrow! So the dust and salt was on a minimum! I was actually very suprized how clean it stayed too
