Thanks for the comments guys! I plan on blacking out the turn signals next, the only reason I didn't do those at the same time was because you gotta take the bumper off to paint them... but I will do that soon

Suspension is next in line, though. I'll probably black out the reverse lights and lower it in the same trip.

you could just get blue batmobiles overlays...they fit well and do the trick...but on second thought his overlays may not be dark enough to your liking

Meh... Im not a big fan of smoked taillights on most cars. Its hard to pull off, usually it just ends up making the car look cheaper which I think it did in your case.

I'd remove the taillight tint and just upgrade to the 06+ LED tails and lower it and then youd be on to something.

I respect your opinion, but I don't think it looks cheap at all. It shines better than the paint on the rest of the car! I think I'm going to take the others' advice...with one variance

What do you think about black rims with a blue polished lip?

They make the car look cheaper regardless of how shiny they are. It just doesnt look good on lighter colored cars (besides white).

The black rims with a blue polished lip will DEFINITELY make the car look cheaper.

No offense man, but your taste in mods seems to lean towards pretty whack ****.

Eh. I'll probably keep the rims the way they are, but am going to smoke the blinkers. Drop and exhaust then I'll be good

I think smoking them would look better... Yours are blacked out. Blacked out looks cheap, smoke looks nicer. Not to mention that they are now virtually useless during the day. If you do this (blacked out as opposed to smoked) to your turn signals as well I predict an accident or lots of people getting pissed at you bc they can't see your braking/signalling.

From the way it sits now, I dont think it flows at all. Maybe if you had black wheels.

How did you black them out? The way the guy did it you'd be surprised, you can see it pretty well. And about the blinkers thing... I rarely use them, so blacking them out wouldn't really do anything

idk dude I haven't had any negative comments about the car or the lights since I did it... everyone says it looks awesome. Maybe it looks better in person, or maybe drastically different taste but I love the way it looks and am keeping it

Thanks for the comments though guys!
