Make a new grill... Wire up some driving lights... Hell, go to spencer's and get a black light that runs on 12v and wire it up in your trunk instead of the crappy little light that's in there... Go buy a small torch and learn how to weld. I did that, and I'm making short shifters, and fixing exhaust **** now... Paint your inner tails to the color of the car...? I'm just throwing out lame ideas...

or just take out the bulbs :dunno:

I think what he wanted to do with the taillights is have the actual brake light on when he hits the brakes, but not on when the headlights are turned on (for the inner lights anyways).

He could've just applied a small piece of tape to one of the bulb connections instead of cutting wires but hey, that's just me...

What about banging down the bottom of the steering wheel like the racing wheels where the bottom looks like its been pushed up so it doesnt bother your legs?
