I'll have to double-check the wiring, but my sub seems to be blown...oh well, it's an excuse to get rid of it lol, just too bad I can't sell it now. I guess if I determine it to be blown, I can look at a odyssey pc680 to go back up front, and some new rear speakers with some better bass.

Your smoked tails came out fantastic! What did you use? It looks like professional tint.

Adam....I probably should be saying this cuz i dont wanna give you any ideas, lol, but what if you left the BBBs and just shaved your side mouldings...?

I wanted to do that at one point, but then I decided against it. I want to keep the exterior totally oem as far as body structure goes. This car isn't going to be really flashy, but I like it that way. Just look at that picture. You know if the side moldings and bumpers were gray too it'd be hot.

Thanks man! I just used niteshades like everyone else does. I took my tail lights off, and cleaned them with rubbing alcohol, then polished them with Meguiar's plastic polish until they were shiny like new...then just very,very light coats of nightshades.

All grey? No. Grey bumpers and black trim? Yes.

X2 Grey bumpers + black trim = OEM look

[mndude07]

Well technically, painted moldings is an OEM look too (10th anniversarry edition). I feel like leaving the black moldings show the age of the car even more. I know it'll never look like a new car, but how many cars have black strips on them like that anymore? Not very many. Look at J-spec's car. It has jdm lights, a grill, and painted moldings and everyone, inclulding myself loves the way it looks. Its clean, yet very simple. I wish I were better at photoshop so I could get a better idea.
Mike, remember how clean Charlie's CB was? It had paint-matched moldings. I just think it'll look better.

[MikeW]

Eh...he had the ITRs and it was a bright color. I dunno...

What about noxidea's car? Did it have color-matched mouldings or no?
