    @12GaugeMule - i'll post an updated shot from the rear in a few days, still wanna add one more thing before it's completely done. as far as the tint, i used a film. lasts longer and looks better than spraying, in my opinion. it also gives the lights a glossy finish, unlike when you spray them.

    Any reason you didnt get the 3rd tail done also? @G-spot

    Also if you dont mind me asking, what rear window spoiler is that?
    Is that a custom or did you fit it from another car?

    while i'm doing the finishing touches on the car, i figured i'd mention that, so far, the only performance mods i've done are a short-ram intake and performance tires. i've got a whole laundry list of things i wanna do to this car, so once i've got the aesthetics end done i'll give this thing a little more street cred.

    @shotta12 - you might wanna try 5/16" nylon plugs for the license plate holes. it's the most reasonable way to fix that problem, unless you feel like doing a little bodywork.

    got my caliper paint. went with red so they really pop out from behind the rims. and once i powdercoat those puppies black i'll finally have the exterior done. gotta set aside one of these days to actually do the work.

    in the meantime, i think i mentioned that i installed a short ram intake. easy install, took about a half hour. as i was going to re-connect the battery at the end i realized i forgot to disconnected it in the first place. idled it for a few minutes and revved it several times, i didn't seem to have any issues, so hopefully when i take it for a drive later the car doesn't explode.
