My sedan got a new bum

Just installed Bats Brake, reverse and third brake light overlay as well as painted the fuji black. Exhaust tips are the DIY "fat boy" altima tips but am hoping to upgrade soon. Next up is having the roof painted black, wheels powdercoated and headlights done. All should be finished on July 2nd by my bodyman. What do you guys think so far?

I like the way the rear looks on BS. The emblem looks good in black, nice contrast to the body paint. Can't go wrong with Bat's overlays, they're one of the best in quality; I have a set of them for my headlights (see pics below). These would go well with your tails!




Quick note: Careful of the SUV parked next to you on the passenger side. Kinda too close to get dinged

Car looks real nice man, I love those rims. I think I may go the painted bezel route with the headlights to as not affect light output, yours looks great though!

Looks great, Kevin. Lemme know if/when you ditch the fat boys, I'm interested. What are you 'upgrading' to?

^ the gtr overlays are usually 6/10 unless you want 3/10, which in my opinion, is pointless.

^ Thanks, everyone seems to be saying that so i think its time to go with the majority. I was a little hesitant because i was worried about getting pulled over but it seems as though the break lights and turn signals will still be very visible.

Thanks for the comments guys! I got the GTR 6/10 shade tint and it seems to be the perfect median between looks while retaining proper light output. I think I'm going to add some smaller circles in the middle of the brake light cut outs also. Hey Wayne, I'm such a procrastinator with this whole exhaust thing, I STILL don't know if I hat I want to do... but you can have my Altima tips when I upgrade if you like.

sick overlays, my favorite has always been the opaque black with the gtr style cutouts. i wish they had it for the sedan but the damn turn signal is there so obvisously people need to see you turn.

Wow, those overlays look really good. Never considered them until now. Should look sick on a IP G (just like pictured above). Yup I agree with you, get the bezel painted. Looks much cleaners and subtle. Black roof time will set the theme even more as well. Good luck!
