    Now for the 20" centerlines, the true coilovers (lowered a little) and the license plate. I am thinking SNKILLR.

    Wow. Great job! Heh, If you go by Ron's you might be able to "borrow" some seats that would sort of match. :unsure:

    Great question. I was talking about silver tint tonight with a friend. I would have to see what it looks like. Anyone want to photocrop a picture for me?

    Thanks for all of the kind words. I was really nervous about doing it, but decided the silver needed a little help. It looks sweet in the bright sun.

    Looks great C. I did a few photochops of the tails for you. The following pics were done very quickly but may give you an idea. They all have varying levels of opacity. This first one is with two different tints...one darker than the other. The right tail is in a more subtle black tint where the left tail is a metallic/silver hue:

    [​IMG]

    This next chop (LEFT Tail Light only) is at 60% opacity and allows the greatest amount of red to get through being silver in hue:

    At 50%:

    [​IMG]

    35%:
