Default My 08 NBM Changes as of yet...

I have yet to get more excited and get to the harder mods in the future. But for now the minor easy changes.

The fresh untouched nautical blue.



After a week 32 % quartz tints. The tinting place wanted to put my pic on their website so ihave to include the name autoshades on the pic the guy said they haven't done a tC yet . I was like what? They been around since 2004 or 2005 but anyway...





I also updated the tails since all you guys hate it

So the moral of the story if you are doin any DIY... Go to SL and look for tips. I was like in a hurry to get home after work so I can get started. And waadoyanow. The 08 tails wont come off The install instruction that came with the TYC's are useless. So now what I have to remove the half part of the bumper. I did it one side at a time so I wont have to remove the whole bumper itself just to free the thing argghhh!!!. long story short I finally got them on after wasting 2 f-n hours. But it was fun at least I saved a trip to the dealership and best off I did it myself.







I also got mudguards coming, and ordered that new RAZO ****.
And I'm watching a plug and play HID kit on ebay I won't put the link sorry. The starting bid is 0.01 cent. Hoping to get it.

Nobody told me having a tC is expensive.

haha, get used to that here. People have their opinions. Dont take it to heart, its your car. Do what you like. No use in getting all worked up, it just adds fuel to the retard fire...

I for one, like the 05 stock tails better than anything out there! My car had tyc on it when I bought it. I didnt like them, tried to tint them, still didnt like them, so i sold them. But they are better than the stock 08 tails, I'll give them that. But they look better without the amber turn, either red or clear makes them look 1000 times better

they are 32% quartz tint Diamond brand. They look darker coz the sun wasn't out when i took the shot. So they look darker... WA allows up to 35% but I just went with 32% to be safe.
