Now that is what you call towing in style! :)
 
Yesterday
- Front Window Tint. Wussed and went 50%. Didn't want the Illinois Highway Patrol Drama.
- Installed 'White' LED Clearance lights.
- Rear Bumper Guard

Today
- 'Angel Eyes' for my fogs by Extemedesignz. Marek rocks!

Soon
- Front Chin Spoiler (Still unsure about this one. I like the look some times and other times worry that I might 'cheapen' my 50's look.) help
- side mirror Covers
- rear reflectors swap to active Braking LEDs

Small steps...:)
 
FYI. I have loved every FX I have seen on this site with the Front Chin. Just not sure if my color (Umbria Twilight) will look ok.
 
^ Post some pics of the angel fogs on the 2nd gen. :)

I know what you mean about the front lip...I sometimes love it and other times not as much. I sometimes feel it doesn't look as good on the pearl white as it does on other colors.
I feel the same way about the mirror covers....but I do like the slim euro audi mirror replica leds that one guy did, but it was very custom.

I can bet some money within 2 years you will have the tint redone. Just saying. ;) ... I did......and you will think that every time you see another car that is darker than 50% driving by you. I had 35%, but then had that redone. In Illinois 45% is actually legal.

Ha nice, I am going 50% too. 35% you can get a ticket since that is the max with rear factory tint.

Marek's lighting is awesome. Don't forget AE's for the headlights too.

He is still working on 2nd Gen AEs with Adaptive Headlights. Will be very tempting. :)

Ha, you guys are funny! But I don't doubt you! Also, I looked at JMESS86's ride. SWEET! I think that pretty much has convinced me. But it may necessitate a drop too?

Some quick pictures from today. Bright and Sunny so you can't see all the lights in their full glory but you get the point.

Looks awesome.. I like that you move quickly with these mods. We take our lake shots about a quarter mile east of that spot, on the island..

Yeah Jesse has a bad ass ride.. Remember you can always do that painting on the bottom like we discussed..

Thanks Ian
Phil those are some nice shots of the FX. The halos came out really nice in the fogs. Also I'll recommend you get the lip for your ride. One of the best mods for the money and you'll be very happy with it. It does look better dropped but us 2nd gens waited a little while for them to come out. Definitely looks/handles better. There's a few guys that mentioned the camber problem on here but I honestly don't mind it ( worth it to me ).
 
Phil - your car looks hot! great pics and looks like we have another HDR guy.
Ed - Now it's time for a supercharger...you got everything else....90% there! ;)
Jessie - has been slacking with being so busy running his tire business hehe ;)
Ian - We are both slow with mods...at this rate, Phil is going to have us beat by spring!
