New mods: Black decklid and taillight tint.
Hey guys! It's been awhile since I've been on. But I just wanted to post and let everyone see my new stuff. I tinted my taillights and 3rd brake light. And I got painted mirror covers.
I think they look great from a distance, but there are major air bubbles and the adhesive can be seen when the lights are on. My dad did it as a Christmas present and he didn't follow the instructions at all. He hardly applied any water to the lens and then tried to peal it and restick it after all the air bubbles. Hence why the adhesive is splotchy. So, I'm ordering another set and following the instructions.
Not a great picture. But the install was pretty easy. Just needed a flathead and patience.
I plan to get my windows tinted this week and then get foglight, headlight, and side marker tint/covers next week. I may powder coat my wheels just so they don't take away from the look or whatever until I get rims in Spring.

Hopefully if I have some spare money! Haha. I was planning out a huge setup, but I'm probably going to go with the Pypes V6 dual conversion kit for just looks. I'm not worried about performance at all anymore.

Looks great!
On a side note I have my axlebacks, and over the axle pipes if you want to convert your car to dual exhaust cheaply. I haven't put them up for sale or anything and I see you are in East Texas. I live in Central Louisiana. I will also sell you my rear valance since I have been wanting to get the GT500 one anyway. Let me know in a PM if you are interested.

Thanks everybody!
And yes it is! I'm about to replace it with custom vinyl because I went through an automatic car wash (which I rarely do) and it knocked off the panel and I drove all the way to the mall and got out and saw it wasn't there. Thank God it was laying in the car wash when I got back in town. Never again will I go through a car wash. I'll do it my in my own, despite the weather.
