If it were mine, I'd lose a few things... Like the windsheild banner, the sticker on the bumper, and the red emblems. I can actually stand that wing for some reason. Normally I can't, but it fits your car. Where'd you get the center brake light?

I like the color a lot. I agree about the banner and sticker. I like the contrast of the red emblems on the blue paint. That white dash seems like it would be blinding on a bright day. Finally, where DID you get that center brake light?

Yeah Ive been planning to take the stickers off for quite sometime.....but im doin work at a med school at the moment and dont have any time at all to work on it. Thanks for the constructive criticism though The brake light is my own work.....its a whitish/grey color thats painted on in a very light coat. They dont make clear 3rd brake lights so I had to improvise

Tricky, tricky. Does the paint look ok when you put on the brakes? Are those aux lights factory? Mine definately don't look that clear.

Yeah I just made sure I painted it very slowly and evenly. The aux lights arent factory, they're cough*APC*cough foglamps...My factory ones were pretty weak so I picked these up cheap and they look nice too.

Seems like the fogs fit pretty well. Did you have any major issues with fitment? I still can't get over how nice the paint looks.

haha thanks on the paint....theres one guy out here who swears my paint sucks, but ive only got that comment once...funny...anyways

The lamps themsselves fit the bumper really well except for the brackets in back. I had to do alot of bending to get them to fit well with the brackets. They're kind of a pain to change bulbs too because i have to take my bumper off to get to the assembly and i have to take the assembly out to change the bulb. But, they do help alot more in the rain than the stock ones.
