cvrefugee 04-20-2006, 06:37 AM Nice. Any problems with the cops?
bB2NER 04-20-2006, 06:38 AM It looks nice but how much light is seen through all that blacked out stuff? Have you been pulled over yet? Can you see where you are going at night?
ProshopXB 04-20-2006, 10:32 AM I think it looks great. You just need to put some darker tint on the front windows and you will be set. Then you would be the ultimate creeper.
aireck 04-20-2006, 10:38 AM ..and some black wheels...too!!
StevisXb 04-20-2006, 11:57 AM The headlight overlays I had on my box cut the output tremendously so much that after removing them for state inspection, I was amazed on how much I had been missing.;...
Xb_Stud 04-20-2006, 01:23 PM no problems with the cops.... yet. the smoked heads cut down about 20% of the light. i am thinking about getting some silverstars to get some of the light back, but it doesn't bother me too much.
stick_1NZ 04-20-2006, 01:28 PM Looks nice and clean. I like the idea of the black out. :bow:
Boxer_Rebellion 04-20-2006, 01:35 PM Get some black wheels, maybe a carbon muffler w/blacked hardware, some front tint and you're set!
superjeer 04-20-2006, 01:36 PM silverstars won't get your light back. they actually put out less light than non-tinted bulbs. (Just don't want you to waste the money).
dudehitt 04-20-2006, 01:40 PM That looks great Chris! :clap: :bow: :bow: :clap:
I think it goes good with the wheels, kind of draws attention to them. If you went with black wheels I think they would blend in too much,
evilBOXevil 04-20-2006, 03:22 PM That looks awesome. I love the BSP anyways, but I'm really digging that extreme black look. :bow: :bow:
The only problem I have is that everytime I look at the pics of your car, I hear "woop woop" and start seeing red and blue lights flashing behind me.
THE_DON 04-20-2006, 04:20 PM Looks good, but a blacked out box would look even better on blacked out wheels.
As far as the headlights, Silverstars will not make up a 20% loss.
BTW, is the wiper shaved, or plugged? Looks clean.

moonray 04-20-2006, 06:20 PM Looking good :clap:
redneck69 04-20-2006, 06:34 PM Oh looks good I am going for a similiar look... I really need to tint out my tail lights... I think I'll leave the headlights untinted though.
chubster41 04-20-2006, 06:37 PM looks good but I agree u need darker rims
chaitea 04-20-2006, 09:01 PM my tailights just came in from ebay and i was wondering how to put them on. they are the altezza tailights. ill show you guys a picture when i install the parts that i have received.
Thirty-Nine 04-20-2006, 09:15 PM I love it — don't change a thing! I think the sliver wheels look killer on it.

i've played with the idea of darker rims, but i am going in a different direction with my car. the black out is only the beginning.
the wiper looks like this...

kidkamel 04-21-2006, 06:18 AM Looking good!
I have the same set up for the rear wiper

i beg to differ

i beg to differMe too. My Silverstars are way brighter than the oem ones were. Maybe go with something a little higher in the wattage though to make up the brightness.
I'm thinking of going with only the 3/10th tint on the front lights. Maybe it won't hurt the brightness as much.
GreenEnvy06 04-21-2006, 10:49 AM Did you get these from BlueBatmobile?
evilBOXevil 04-21-2006, 03:08 PM I think the wheels are perfect that are on there.
As for the headlights, I had silverstars on mine for a little while, but didn't find them to be as bright as I'd hoped. I checked autobacs and places like that, but the pricing was killing me. I wanted more of a blue look to the lights, but didn't want to go thru the cost and pain of an hid setup. I ended up getting these headlights from pepboys that have a nice bluish tint, and are pretty bright. Only cost around $30, I think. Made by APC or some other similar craphead company.

I darkened my headlights a bit inside, and painted around the outer area. Maybe not as dark as yours, but it did cut out some light.

At night with lights on. Plenty bright. Better than silverstars, I think.
Fujiz_xb 04-21-2006, 03:22 PM the wiper bullet is awesome.
you need some black rims with polished lip to look awesome.
let me know if i can help you.
