Default New season, New Look....

So over the past few weeks I have done some minor mods that I am VERY pleased with.

I had the whole front end of the car off trying to follow the DIY for painting the headlight housing and let me tell you guys...ITS NOT EASY! Way to many wires and just didn't feel like taking the chances. So I said screw it and painted my grille instead, haha. I also removed the yellow fog light overlays because I was getting sick of them.

I removed the black tail lights and replaced them with the LEDs (they looks sick in person!) AND I also installed the Greddy SE exhaust a couple weeks ago so I thought I might share with you guys.

Sorry for the crappy pics but.......ENJOY!~ Thanks to Andrew for the help dude. I added a few pics with him as well.

The exhaust sounds awesome! Nice deep throaty sound but really no drone what-so-ever. No sound clip guys, sorry. I ordered the LEDs on ebay and I honestly can't get over how nice they look especially at night! Extremely bright!

O yea...what size spacers would I need if I did decide to get them?

Nice exhaust. I'm planning on getting those SEs also. Those LED tail lights looks sharp.
