Default Blackout!
Been wanting to black out my lights since I got my car and finally it's done! Special thanks to JWMotoring for doing the actual tinting, I know what a hard time he had with my lights but he came through and I am very happy with them.

The tails are stock lenses with Chrome Dome bulbs, the fronts are stock lenses with 60 LED Switchbacks and LED 194s, the rest of the lights are stock lenses and bulbs. I don't have any pics but the front corners look very cool when lit up.

I have a new appreciation for those of you who post up such great pics of your cars. I have a cheap digital camera and I think I might get one shot I like for every 30 or 40 I take and even then they are never as sharp or nice as I would like.... Anyway, here are some pics I took today.

That really is stunning. Just enough mods to separate it from the pack and look meaner.

That does look great. Blacked out lower fascia would really set it all off.

I went out to take some pics now that it's dark and one of them was already burned out!

FYI.. You can take the bulbs out by reaching through the brake cooling duct under the fog lights but you might feel like a dork like I did when you get your hand stuck in there.

Haha yaa.. it's really easy to just remove the headlight assembly. ~10-15 mins per side and you have all the space you could ask for.

That sucks about them being burnt out.. what did you have before them?

Blacked-out does look good, real good!
I like the yellow calipers also.
