    Looking great! Blacking out the symbols really makes a difference, along with the tint and painted caps. By the way, what % is your tint? Looks pretty dark! Just how I like it, haha. Take a look at my signature if you want any more ideas for mods. I think you'd be interested in doing a VG Shark Fin Antenna mod. It's very simple, and gives it an even cooler look.

    They will paint it to match your vehicle 100%. I can say that for my blizzard pearl color.
    Here is a picture. I can PM you more if you'd like.

    Nice look so far, next steps are to install lowering springs and tighten up that suspension and body flex with strut and under braces, you won't be sorry.

    The springs made a HUGE difference in handling and the overall feel of the car. It's my favorite mod. :)

    There are a number of different springs available and some of use have posted thorough reviews on our springs. You may try a search for those. I have the Eibach review in my signature.

    Cost is between $120-$220 for new springs and between $200-$300 for installation if you cannot do it yourself.

    Lowering springs were the best mod I did too. Stance is everything.
