Looks good. I'm not a big fan of smoked headlights, but I do like the tinted windows. I need to do that on mine.

Lose that "thing" on rear window, and drop the ride.

I like the grille, but the headlights are throwing me off...maybe if they were done up like the AE headlights they would be cool, but the dark/light contrast between the headlights and the corner lights looks really odd.

I definitely like the grille, though. Springs, young grasshopper- you need springs!

That will handle well, but be a slightly rough ride...

yea with the kyb agx and prokit it is pretty rough, but i would rather the car ride rough than have it handle with 4 blown shocks like it had for 4 months

Let me give a little background on the smoked headlights. Its actually just one piece of 35% window tint carefully layered over the headlight to hide the yellowing of the housing. This was done before I wanted to spend the money for Cefiros. I might still go for them, and if I do they will probably be smoked.

As far as the springs go, I need new struts desperately so I lower it when I do all that (but I'd like new wheels also, hah). Any suggestions for a good suspension combo? I'm interested in how many guys prefer the softer suspension as opposed to a stiffer suspension such as that on a touring.

Thanks a lot for the feedback, I appreciate it guys :-)

ps: phenryiv: when I originally did the headlights I had planned on doing all of the front end, or at least the corners as well but never got around to it. do you think you'd like this more, or does the whole look turn you off?

i like a stiff suspension...cushy isnt my thing. if u want stiff go with the kyb agx's with eibach prokit. u can adjust dampening and the car still rides decently smooth on the softest setting but i prefer it to be stiff

More than anything, it is the contrast that throws me off. I definitely understand the financial limitations, and it is cool that you are doing what you can with what is available, BUT I believe that tinting the headlights, while it might look cool, is illegal. Maybe if it was all even it would be less obvious, but as it stands not only does it look a bit off, it is also likely to draw attention from Braintree's Finest.

You may very well be right. The picture sort of exaggerates it because its not as dark up close as it looks in the pic, and at night it looks exactly the same as it did before haha. I'm lucky so far because I detail the police cruisers in my town as well as some of their personal cars so I've never gotten any **** for it.

A few people have suggested Nightshades to me, but at that point I think its too much and will DEFINITELY grab the attention of those who, well, shouldn't notice it lol. Thanks for the feedback

Any time! I say stick with what you have, tint or AE-mod the corner lights, and save your cash for suspension and Cefiro lights. Baby steps, man, baby steps.
