Thanks guys :-)

Will hopefully have time to get the "black" things on this weekend...

Will probably have to wait with putting the Borla on until July 2nd when my car will be inspected, after that I have 2 years of driving until the next check It´s kind of random here, sometimes they will let sports exhausts through, sometimes you will have to reinstall the stock stuff

Like everyone said, it looks great! From the pictures you can't even tell it was wrapped.

Yeah, not sure about the lights. I like and want the LEDs. I like the look when they are turned off, but I think the "pattern" looks a bit cheap :-(

Considering tinting them, but making them "black" is a sure way to be stopped by the cops here... Especially since I will have "removable tint" on the front side windows (which is also illegal).
May I ask what you mean by removable tint?

Thanks!

Sorry just saw this question...

In Sweden it´s illegal with any kind of tint on the front side windows. We get our cars tested every two years and if the front windows are tinted we pay a fine and they remove the tint.

I have a special tint for the front windows which is applied with just soap-water. It is easily removable and reinstallable. However the end result is far from the result you get with "real" tint, so I´ve decided I will get rid of this and after the next "test" put real tint for the upcoming 2 years.

Looks good. I want black out window trim. Makes the car look a lot more aggressive.

Thanks! I love the colour and I love it from a distance, however I find it really hard to keep "bubble free", especially by the edges of each window, and also I wasn´t able to make it really good around the "corners".

Cheap mod so maybe can´t expect too much however...

The blacked out/smoked stuff really completed the look. Good work!

I was checking out a new GS250 in the shop with the sales guy and saw your car sitting on the lift with wheels off.
