    Yea, I wanted that subtle look, and it's definitely a huge difference when you know what it was like before. Got rid of some of my nasty condensation as well.

    These things are supposed to be completely transparent and allow all light through, but I actually haven't take any pics at night to verify yet. I don't know if it's just me being paranoid, but it does seem to block a littttttle bit of light.

    Thanks buddy. Nice; yours should look good. It'll compliment the red/black combo that they started with from stock.

    Got some vinyl/tint work done recently:
    - Gloss black roof
    - Light smoke on the headlights and fog lights
    - Darker smoke on the tail lights
    - Four reflectors at the back pretty much blacked out

    Here's some before/after pics:

    GTA Wrapz. Aside from peeling off some paint from near my headlight () they did a good job, within a good amount of time, at a good price.

    Wrapping the roof they peeled paint basically at the point furthest away from the roof?

    It was actually while they were tinting my headlights. They put a huge piece over the headlight and then cut to size, but when peeling off the excess, they peeled off some paint with it It's towards the top of the front bumper (right under the headlight). Gotta touch that up soon

    Really? I tinted my headlights years back now and did the exact same thing with nothing. I'm more of the type to while using the knife to cut the tint to have my arm go spastic and cut into the paint. LOL (don't try looking for it on my car )

    haha damn. Yea, I dunno what happened. They said it was the first time something like that happened. Hopefully I can touch it up with some touch-up paint and shouldn't be tooooo noticeable.

    I think I like it sans-tint better. Your headlights looked so shiny and new before the tint.

    Really? Must just be the angle of the picture then haha cause my headlights weren't in the best shape. Had some condensation issues on the outsides of both, and after the tint, that condensation issue really got cleaned up a lot.

    I can't believe I didn't see the new changes to your car any sooner. Looks sick! All of them tasteful, even the spoiler.

    Give GTA Wrapz a call and see what they can do for you. I found their prices quite fair; was well worth the trip from our side of town.

    Made my own towplate! Okay well, not fully. Designed (probably over-designed) it myself, and got someone I know to fabricate it up. Sprayed it last night, and just about ready to mount. Will hopefully get it on tonight after work.









    Gotta find me some plugs for the current holes in the front bumper though. Any suggestions?

    Thanks Mitchell! Unfortunately still haven't got it on for good since I still need to find a way to plug those nasty holes I have, along with another little surprise left behind by the previous owner that was nice and hidden till you take the OEM bracket off After the test fit though, seems like the towplate fits fine, and I love the look of it, so will definitely try to make this thing work.

    Seeing all you hella-low people on here, sometimes makes me feel like such a 4x4

    The cure? Park next to a big trailer! It's all relative..

    The car looks wicked dude! I swear I've seen it in Guelph. And I know what you mean about 4x4 status. I really need to get a set of springs... Just no money :/
    They say I'm an addict but I don't have a problem with alcohol or drugs. I'm an addict because I can't live without bass. Car audio is my addiction. And it will never change.

    I'm rarely in the Guelph area, but you very well could've seen me indeed.

    Yup; a good set of springs (and even more the case when you combine them with some better shocks) can make a world of a difference on your ride; not only appearance wise, but it's handling characteristics as well.
