Looks good dude, feelin the angel eyes and the license plate. Either that's custom or you're really lucky.

What's with the rear trunk figment or alignment. Looks like the left side is off. Got rear ended?

Nice mods man... Obviously you have put a lot of work into it! Which LED strips did you install under the headlights? I just ordered the ones from CarID.com... and I wanted to ask you a few installation questions before I start my own project. Did you put the adhesive side up (stick to bottom of headlights) or down (stick to bumper)? Looking at my own car it seems like there is a larger flat surface on the bottom of the headlight than the narrow looking top lip of the bumper. What did you wire them into and where did you connect them? I am planning the parking lamps with matching LED city lights, but I'm curious how big of a project it is going to be. Any input is appreciated!
