Haha professional amateur. Thanks man. I just read stuff online and try to do it myself. Had some practice on my s2000 before that had dents and dings. Was New formula red and i repainted it alpine white. The body work on that wasn't major. This was a whole different level for me

Most definitely its always a good feeling when someone admirers your car. It's a great feeling when you can say you did all the mods with your own two hands

Very good work, I myself am tempted to do this as I have experience doing something similar.

Thanks man. yeah originally I was gonna do the yellow film for the fogs but then I decided to go in a different direction. I was scared I might mess up my headlights from baking it so I tried it out on the fog lights first. I may be experimenting on making my own LEDS for the headlight like the new 2011's. already have a few ideas in mind about how I'mma go about it

thanks guys. next mod will probably be modifying my rear lip a little cutting out the center piece and adding a mesh grill and painting around the exhausts black. might even do the center parts of my sideskirts still debating. and debating whether or not I want the VIP puddle lights.

heres a good shot of the rear

and the side view


other mods I will be doing for sure is:
f sport shift ****
changing my puddle lights and all my interior to led
changing all the lights in my dash
all the major mods are out of the way I don't plan on touching the engine. I have a Alpine type x 12 in the trunk I have yet to take any pictures of.

I might wanna get those lexus door sills that light up.
I wanna get a aftermarket alarm and remote start but from what I hear the only way u can still use the feature of opening your doors by just grabbing the inside of the handle is if you dont arm your alarm. so whats the point? I like the convenience of never having to take my keys out of my pocket. but if anyone has anymore knowledge about remote starts and alarm please give me some info thanks
