few pics i just took

[AlmostAV]

For those that dont end up going into my tire thread. And too add some more. Here are some pics I took. Yes the cam sucks, and I waited till it got too dark. Hopefully Ill get some better ones soon. Yes my car is essentially a replica of a few I have already seen (onebadcad among others). Let me know if you have questions.

I want your hood...

Very nice man...I have an 05 in raven and I'm debating on powdercoating the grill like that. If you don't mind me askin, how much does that run normally? It really sets your car off with the dark rims IMO. My rims are chrome so I'm not sure if I should do it or not because I like how it looks matching those two. But I just smoked my taillights, 3rd brake light, backup lights, and sidemarkers (not like jet black, but darker) and I think it looks real sharp. You plan on doing anything else black? Looks good though man, take care of it.

thanks guys! I painted my grille/frames. You cannot powdercoat the plastic frame, and since I didnt want to go about the hassle of matching the pdc'd grille with a painted frame, so I painted it all. Shouldnt be more than 100 from a paint shop if you bring them the parts disassembled.

Id do the lights in black, but I cant be without my car for a week turn around....

I recently had a tint shop do mine and they came out great....they didn't use nightshade or spray paint either but instead they used a typical tint film. Came out really nice too. I'll post pictures this week when I get a chance. I couldn't do a week turnaround either so I did this and I'm happy with it. And if I ever get tired of it, they come right off with a hairdryer and some soapy water.

I would say that I am now an expert since I get the lights front and back tinted by a heavy film from a tint shop. So to answer some of your questions. Do they look good - YES, Can you see the seam - YES, but I also used the eyelids and taillids for the top of the lens. That alows a single sheet for each light.

These are easy to put on and also since I live in a state that you cannot have them tinted or colored - I take them off during the inspection and then have the tint shop put them on again. This is much less expense than buying the headlights and taillights pair.

One more thing - If you use a heavy film they also help the headlights with any chipping from road hazards. Here are some crude pics of my car.

AV, your hood is badass, a wind storm a few months ago dropped a nice branch on my hood. I could get it fixed since its just cosmetic but i have always wanted something more aggressive.

If u dont mind me askin, How much did it cost you and where did u pick it up????
