I do have a little extra money right now but I don't know what to use it on. Painting the rims is an idea, but I dont really have the time needed to do it. And something in the front end, probably the brakes, has been squeeking like a mofo so I'll probably have to get that fixed..

Dude, go all graphite with the paint for the body and I think ur set for looks. As for the squeaking, is it when u turn or come to a stop?

Thanks dude, and the brakes were squeeking. So new pads and rotors solved that problem.

Honestly, go back to OEM tails if you go uno-tone. but the tails match the paint scheme. But like I said before, f**king sexy.

I think red and black tail lights, like half-smoked, might set off the paint scheme nicely.

Yea tinting them a little sounds like a good idea.. What should I use to do that? Tint spray or regular tint?

It's not bad for 2k. I personally don't like the 2 color paint job, just looks cheap to me. Also the rims are ugly, and it should get about a 2 inch drop. As for the street glow, keep it if u like it, but it's illegal to drive with it on. But regardless of what we say, do what u like, if u like how it sits then keep it that way. You have to drive ur car, not us.... Good luck

The car looks good! The color on the rims rock. when you tint the tail lights do not use a spray can. i painted mine with autozone tailight paint and it look wack. you have to go to a shop and they will paint it using gloss with a hint of black paint. give it a light coat so you wont get pulled over. having it with the dark coat will definitely merge with the car color scheme.
