Default New Pics of the car along with DIY's!

Hey guys,

Here are a few pics of my 2 recent DIY's. I painted the chrome part black and to do a professional job, it took me 1 hour. The other DIY is the corner lights! Notice how the orange bulb does not turn on when my headlights are on? heheh. It only turns on when I signal or put on my emergency flashers. (its in the 3rd post below)

After doing the grill, the stealthy look of the car makes me think I have a bodykit when I actually don't have one. Aside from the DIY's, I will be lowering my car this Friday with eibachs and it will lower my car 1.2 inches which I feel is good enough.

I hope you guys liked what I did and please give me feedback.
Thanks,

Bryan

Thanks Brendan! Unfortunately the eyelids have to be custom made by me again. Cutting vinyl and putting it on is a PITA!!

Looks good Bryan. I love stealth parking lights... it's fun tricking people into thinking there's a Supra behind them at night. Now... does anyone know where I can get some colormatch spray paint for my midnight blue? I want to bite the style and paint my grill too, but I think black might contrast the blue too much... any thoughts?

I think it will look good! Go try it! Remember if you mess up, paint thinner will take it off. Just don't scrape the chrome when you paint it!
