I finally finished installing the CF License garnish, the JDM Rain Visors and my tinted JDM Tails back on to my car last night.

Unfortunately, the in-laws stole my camera to take with them on their trip to Cancun, so I was only able to snap off some pictures with my Blackberry...

sorry for the quality, and the dirty car, I will wash her and take better pics when my camera is back.

>>New JDM Rain Visors; I tinted them black to match the hatch visor/taillights:>>



Random Shots:




I hate that she's so dirty, but I just had to show you guys...

I'll also add some daytime shots once I get the camera back...

Bahahaha I'm working on it... "Postal Service" is the worlds greatest oxymoron.

I wish there were a way to send items over the internet attached to an email. If I could invent that, I could be rich!!

I remember that car from the summer. I recall it being a bit more... yellow laugh.gif

Do they sand and salt the roads heavily in Calgary? I've never done the drive from here to there in any seasons other than spring/summer.

The jdm tails are tinted right, the pics arnt the best quailty but from what i can see they look decent. But i hope they are good in rl, since some tint jobs ive seen are like poo. Nice car overall..i thought your car was yellow?

One thing tho im not a huge fan of the dual exhaust tips. But it is your car and if you like it good on you smile.gif

Yeah - my car really is yellow... lol. But that doesn't mean I don't need a new paint job.

I masked off the reverse and turn signal sections of the taillights before tinting, I didn't want them to be too dark...

As for the dual exhaust - not my choice, bought the car like that; but its 2.5" piping from the cat back. Theres a "Y" joint near the front of the gas tank and its piped out from there.

I like the look of the dual exaust, but I don't think that "Y" is doing anything for performance; so when I do the 5SFTE; I will be getting a new exhaust. smile.gif

I wouldn't say heavily; it just hasn't been warm enough to wash the car properly since we've had our first snow-dump this season.

Looks good. Really like the carbon fiber garnish.
Can you snap a picture of underside of your car to see how did you split the exhaust to two (around the spare tire well)?

The car was purchased with the exhaust already done; but the next time I crawl underneath I will definately try to get some pics for you.

hey man, its nice to see your car coming along. it looks quite a bit different from when i came to see you car some year and a half ago in airdrie. i see that some quarter panel rust is coming out, you may want to sand it down and por15 before it eats through the metal. that way you will save yourself from wielding in a new panel in later. we should have another 6gc meet this summer! i missed it last year because i had work. you guys met up at my work place too (country hills toyota..)

I guess you could say it was a spur of the moment thing; some people like it and on past cars that had it done, I thought it looked great. But I agree with you, it just doesn't look THAT good to me, and I'm thinking about removing the tint altogether.

... unless someone wants to trade me for some UN-tinted ST205 tails... we'll see.

Speak of the devil; I was talking about your car earlier on when I said "it looked good on some cars".

Hahaha - do you have any comparable pictures for me to look at? I'd like to see where I went wrong, because I just don't like the taillights as much as I thought I would. frown.gif

If its spray paint... probably with some thinner, yes... but is it going to be good for the plastic lens? That's the question...
