I think you have JP sides right? I'd do a JP type N front, black out your headlights, slam it out, and prey you don't run into any speed bumps -- I'm sure you've seen rickdogs Z, something similar to his would be fly.
Hey thanks for all the suggestions. I think I'll keep that front. I'm falling for it. As for the headlights.. I'll keep them yellow for a few weeks just so be special. Then I'll smoke them!!

I'm starting to like the yellow too. Looking from the front alone, it looks awesome. It gives that evil look.

How much does a "black-out" service cost these days?

So hmm... multiple people was told that the yellow looks sexy at the mini car wash meet tonight. I guess I'll just keep them yellow.

Thanks Eric for the pic!

Upgrade to 06+ headlights and on a silver car I would either black them out or paint them OEM Silverstone to match.

Where is this tutorial on blacking out headlights/tailights?

OP once you go black... well you know the rest.

Sorry I couldn't resist

Those tint overlays could be tricky to put on. To my knowledge, it's simply not "plug and play." You might have to heat/stretch the plastic before applying otherwise you get these weird "lumps" and bubbles. People who have done this know what I'm talking about and it's a PITA. If you want to tint your lenses, buy a can of "niteshade" (found on ebay) and spray them. If later on down the line you feel as if it looks retarded, spray brake cleaner on it and it strips the tint right off!

Ook cool, thats good info to know. Since I am a bit retarded with paint or applying tint I may take it to Car Toyz and let them do it. I rather get it right the first time than keep screwing it up.

So here we go. I took your advice and blacked out my headlights. They're not the best picture. But you should get an idea.

Instead of yellow, you should go for some red headlights to match your lug nuts. That'd look super evil with your black car.
