Looking good! I know its ur car but i think pyroman is right about the license plate. It makes it look way way better with super bright white LEDs specially at night trust me, i have one.

Thanks, my first time using plastidip. From far away it looks clean but up close the edges are kinda messed up. I figured it was close enough hahah

I seen a tiburon with those, they looked nice. If anyone has em on their car can you post a pic? Preferably white. I just love my cover because it goes with the white and black theme!

Those LEDs do look nice, only thing thatd bug me is it would highlight my dirt when it needs washed haha.

Also, I'm hesitant to lower it even tho I do want to, mainly because of how bad pittsburghs streets are.

The LEDs look good, is there a thread on here with a how to?

Also, the decals on the doors, what would be the best way to do it. I can't imagine it would come off clean.

just grab some LED's on ebay that are made for it. I know there is a sticky probably in the interior section that gives the bulbs. Just open your hatch and look up there are some panels on the inner side of the hatch that you pop out and you can get to the bulbs. If they don't light up, just pull out the bulbs and switch the + and -. Bulbs should only be a couple bucks
