I used regular Krylon High gloss dark blue. If you look at the pics again the only thing I don't like is the edges because they are so white/clear that they stand out so I am either thinking of painting the edge blue but the weather would probably mess it up. Or I will just go to Home Depot and get some black weather stripping and put that around the edges. I can't wait to get some pics at night that is when they look the best.

Thanks!

There is a lot I want to do to it. But I have a wife and a 2 year old daughter so they are my first priority. I am putting my wife through college and I will probably start school in august while working full time. As of august I will have $100 a month towards the car so I will start trying to do more to my car.

I want to drop it with some Eiback Prokit/KYB AGX, I am not looking to swap since it is auto, but maybe just get the motor ready for a 5 to 8 boost turbo, (I am not looking to race or be the fastest I just like working on my car for myself, so if I like something I get it). then exhaust Apexi or Tanabe, either the bomex kit, or a Tsunami T1 front lip, with bomex skirts and rear bumper. Paint job. The way I figure is the faster I can get my wife out of college and working that will double our income then I will be able to do what I want to it. So till then my saying is "patience is a virtue".

Yea, I know that patience is a virtue, but just not one that I have developed yet.
Goodluck to you in the future though!

Nah they are not different stages other then the taillights. I went ahead and reordered the pictures according to when they were taken.

As for your questioned about the height of the front compared to the back. well I think it was just the way the parking lot was slanted or it could be that I need rear shocks. because I noticed when I had the 17s myrear tires would hit the fender well when I went over a dip. I was getting poor gas mileage with the 17s plus, I could tell a performance loss since they each weighed about 20 lbs (maybe it was 19lbs) so I traded them for some 16 Konig monsoons with kuhmos and $500 I liked my old ones better but I hated the ride when it rained and the power and gas loss. I will be getting some different 16s or GSRs later down the road. Even now with the 16s if I go over a dip to fast and someone is in the back seat they rub the fender well.

maybe open them up, scrape out the white caulk, and re-seal them with a clear sealent? (silicon comes to mind..) i wanna do that myself, with my clear corners.....again, those are some nice ass lights.

I did take everything off that was around the edges and that is clear silicone. I think that the blue just makes the clear/white of the edges stand out.

I won't be slamming it but I will drop it and add a kit. The streets here in Houston suck especially on my way to work and there is no way I am waking up earlier just to drive slowly and watch for bumps.
