Btw anyone think I should go ahead and buy the nismo sides? IMO I like it the way it is. She seems to look meaner this way with the OEM sides and no rear lip.

Personally I think the side sills look great the way they are... Nismo are a good pre 05 replacement if you don’t paint... but I've always been a bit concerned about the bolted-up look... it just looks too obvious to me (sorry Nismo owners, many of you are my friends)...
I like the more subtle but different look - and you are pulling it off well Smoke

I am now thinking of painting my tail lights black. I will place circular stickers over the LEDs in order to ensure no reduction of function. Now in order to keep it legal I will not paint over the reflective portions. So before I get started I would like some more input.
I do not know what kind of paint to use though. Can someone please let me know what it is called.

^ I was thinking of doing that but I was afraid of losing to much light output since is not translucid like the VHT, they remained really bright and not blotchy at all, a friend of mine got his painted and they look sweet when they're off, fully black and shiney like a car paintjob but you can't see his tail lights for shiit when they're on

You did lose output and a fair amount. Tinting tails on a black car is a bad idea for night. Not just for tail lights but for the reflectors in the tails. You've probably got about 3/4 the visibility you use to.
Which is why VHT nightshade is actually illegal on tails and headlights.
I suggest using bat mobiles overlays, they are a little more money but they look better and are easily removable when you get a fix it ticket from the cops.
