    I used to think so, way back in the day, but now I like the earlier lights because their shape matches the car better IMO, not just boring circles lol. Especially when you have the clear signal....

    But this was a cool project Mack! Very nice to see it done, looks way better. IMO, you see how the trunk lights have a dark edge around them? The outer lights should as well, you can see it especially in this pic:

    just something to think about when you're darkening the rest of the lights :D

    That, and on the pics, there was so much new stuff that it was hard to notice the mesh grille. Was too busy being distracted by the 10 different colors up there lol.

    I'm gonna be stock for a while, I'm gonna weld in a flex pipe on that OBX header I've had for a while, throw that on there, along with just straight piping the fuck out of it. Prove gold wrong about how you can't get power out of the 1zz with intake/exhaust.

    Please do.... but you're gonna eliminate all the back pressure?
    Added: Apr 6, 2012 10:32 PM
    Maybe you should just ask for PMs regarding pricing in your future forsale thread, rather than post up a "high" price, if you know what I mean :rolleyes:
