I dig it. Everything looks great, your paints in great shape for that year, sweet gangster gun stickers (i wonder if they'd look good all in black). I'm not really feeling the exhaust pipe, but hey it's your car, and if you like it, rock on.

Yeah dude, the paint is real nice when it's clean. I want to see some shots of that exhaust... i'm curious.
The sleepy look is pretty cool but you can't actually see with them, right?
I like the turn signal bulbs.

thanks man! yeah the stickers are from the clothing company Rogue Status, and im sure theyd look good in black. but the exhaust is for fun, its really used for mtn runs/ drift events. i think its different and neat! but yeah thanks for the compliments!

Did you paint your GV lip or have it polished up? Either way, I like the way it looks!

Car looks great overall man, it's come a long way since a few short months ago!

It looks sharp on the whole. Don't dig the exhaust or turn signals individually but they don't look out of place in the whole package of things.

lol the exhaust is just a weekend thing, i love my new RB exhaust way more. just did the other for drifting etc.. and i want to get the intake turn signals, but i just like the way the open ones look.

thanks for the compliments though!

I will admit that from a distance the open turn signals do look pretty mean.

haha yeah, thats what my buddies told me when i was pulling up to them! im glad it gives the car some mean appearance, cause i usually get "your car's so cute cause it always looks happy!" from the girls. so now i feel not homo.

Hows that one look? I really do like the glossy black look of the front lip.

Car looks good Derek. Take more pictures of the exhaust. I'm assuming your still using factory piping and just had a muffler shop weld/bolt on two pipes?

Go to ratsback.com they have both a front and rear lip

Thanks man! And no, all the factory is gone, it's the RB single exhaust and I had a new flange and pipes made to pull it off, I'll post up a few more pics of it too.

I'm not sure lol, but I did it anyways

Hahaha :lmao:
