very nice. the tinted fogs were my only complaint. the new fogs + window visors + wheels + stance make for a super clean exe look.

SCHNITZ, I ditched my RCR's in favor for my OEM tail lights. I am interested in how you modified your taillights from orange to red.....can you PM me details or tell me how you did that so cleanly? Thanks

Yup, vinyl from Bluebatmobile.net I bought 2 sheets big enough to do each amber portion of the light. I cut it to fit on the light. 10 minutes of work tops. Still lights up amber too.

It looks like you covered the whole tail light assembly since the red(s) go together so well. I bought (2) sheets 12" x 24" so I can cover whole thing if it doesn't look right. I think I will do back up light too. Total price was less than $8 - cheap mod.
