What did it cost you to do the front and rear lights ?

Great job.

Looks sleek and clean.

Looks fantastic, I think.

I'll bring my video rig next Sunday if you guys are heading back that way. I can get a HQ external mic too if folks are really interested

I went with a kit from Dan at Vivid that had everything, back is ~14mm and front ~8mm. This along with your GT2 spec adjustments looks sweet- pushes the wheels out and fills it in just right. They say handling improves as well.

First off your car is just spectacular. I'm not a fan of tinting taillights but it works well with the color of ur car. The matte hood = win also.

the front and rear light treatments were done after the window tint job was complete...they were some ideas that we came up with to add some unique Euro styling to the car since it was traffic at the time and I had some time to kill to let traffic die down... they wrapped everything into pne package price for me and gave me a big discount since I'll have the car at a big show coming up and offered to put some of their business cards on my car for them as a favor...

Thanks for the comments guys, some of you liked the light treatments and some of you didn't but I am glad that you gave me your thoughts good or bad... looks like most everyone liked the tints and the car...color matched wheels, skirts etc...

keep 'em coming...would love to hear more of your thoughts, opinions, and suggestions...

He is a good dude...

My car hasn't seen a lot of progress here lately... I'm leaning on Ivan a little now though and hope to see some real progress this week and next. And I've changed my plan 'a little' too... I've switched gears and am now going the blow-through route by way of the the BBI/IPD Y-pipe with Protomotive intercoolers, piping, Ford MAF, and fuel system... I need the damn car RUNNING so I'll stop spending money on it while I wait!
