i dont have any pictures of my sub system, u can just imagine it lol, its a huge black box with a 12" sub and the amp is mounted to the back of the seat with extra cable so i can still put it down flat if needed.
and ive got orange lights in my trunk that shine on the sub system

i was thinking about getting some sheets of tint and cutting out some eyelids for the front lights and then covering up the reflective part on the upper half of the rear lights, kinda where the line in the side of the body hits the rear tail light, the top half...
does someone make precut sheets for that?
do it myself with big squares and an exacto?
have the tint place do it?
ive never worked with tint but im pretty crafty lol

otherwise enjoy!
