What else could I do that won't ruin it or be too extreme?
Paint your mirror bases body color, paint or vinyl your roof black and call it a day!

I've never liked painted mirror bases but tomorrow I'm supposed to go to have the roof covered with shiny black vinyl.

You're the first person I've seen to prefer black haha.

You'll love the roof.

How exactly are you painting pieces yourself?

The quality looks too good to be from a spray can

I buy the cans at home depot....rustoleum I believe.




LOL...just kidding. It's urethane base coat with urethane clear. I have an air compressor so I bought myself a paint gun and some paint and started messing with my own stuff. It's not easy I'll tell you that, but I save a good chunk of money doing it myself.

not to bring up a semi-old thread, but i love the car man. In my opinion, you did all thats needed. IF i had the money, i'd do everything the same as yours man. 06-07 spoiler, projector, subtle drop, nice rims, tints, lip. Looks great man. Couple questions for you as well.

-where'd you pick up your spoiler from? and for how much?

-Also where'd you get your projectors from and for how much?

-How bad are the gaps with the lip you got? cuz i really love the way it looks, but i'm pretty OCD about little gaps lol.

-what rims do you have and what is the drop in your suspension?

Thanks for the kind words!

I bought the spoiler on ebay a while back, it was cheap ( I think it was about $150 shipped or something like that.

I can't remember who I bought the headlights from, I know it was one of the forum vendors but can't remember which. I think it was $570 shipped to Puerto Rico which was the cheapest I could find.

The lip fits pretty darn good, almost oem like....and I'm really picky.

The wheels are 20" TSW Snettertons and my suspension is H&R Coilovers.

I really can't drop it more. The bottom of my car will not go past the driveway entrance and leaving my car outside in not an option.
