Trust me, this isn't the first time I'm hearing that the green doesn't look good, but I already have green interior ambient lights and green trunk lights, so decided to add some more "greenery" to the car. Also, just do what you want to do with your car, because it's your car after all 🙃

Right. Trust me man in 10-20 years you're going to go yeah... what was I thinking installing green alien lights on a 50k car? that was embarrassing.

So long shot.. an ES is not something an 18 year old typically drives. Is this a shared car with a family member perhaps? I'm guessing they'll notice the green lights

You're surely right about whatever floats your boat... that includes having an opinion and standards too. =) I used to put soda cans in my bicycle so it hits the spokes... sounds better than paper. oh to be 11 again

From your perspective, you're not wrong at all. It ain't everyday you see someone with a classy car slap green lights onto it, but again, here's where that age factor kicks in. This car used to be shared with family back when it was purchased, but now it's my daily driver, hence the "distinctive" modifications.

This is the first time I've heard someone criticized for "going green"

Today I finished the 2nd ceramic coat using Griot's Garage products. It took 10 hours total:
3 hrs wash
3 hrs clay bar
4 hrs ceramic coat (= 2 x 2 hrs)
The car is spotless, and looks amazing. We'll see how it holds up. Griot's admits it's not as good as a professional ceramic treatment, but looks good to me. Probably easiest to do on the Eminent White color, because it doesn't show streaks - not that there are any...

I've been on both sides of this. I used to do mods to my car when I was young. My "elders" told me it was stupid. Looking back some I do say "what was I thinking?" and some I still think it's cool today. However when I was a teen, it was all awesome. Personally, not sure if I like green (maybe if I see it in person), but in the past I did do all red, so you do what you do and enjoy it.

Only HanzlaKhan will know that if green everything was stupid or not later in life. However, I certainly am hoping that he does not rice out the car and become some poser. Coffee can exhaust, camber wheels, fake stick on air vents, countless amounts of air diffusers, racing stripes, gaudy racing wing, etc.
