Default RS 2.0, Thoughts?

So i've looked at the bluebat vinyl's but $70 is wayyy too much for a sticker! I went to Menards picked up a can of plasti dip for $6, taped it off exactly like the vinyl, saved me a lot of money, the spray peels off if you don't want it anymore, no prep needed, and looks great! let me know what u think of my xD
I bought the rims on craigslist for 140 for all 4, sandblasted and painted under $25 and have a buddy at ford that gave me free tires
I got the exhaust for 160 at micro image.
Painted my headlight housings

I thought about doing the plasti dip thing too. I actually have the stuff to do it but just haven't gotten around to it yet. I may pick up a roll of vinyl and attempt to go that route as well I haven't decided yet.

Pick up a set of fogs! Thats gonna be my next mod fo sho

one of my fave rs 2.0 to be honest lol. im guessing you've looked into blacking out your tails too as that seems it would go with your theme quite well yea?

The black as your second color is the only way to go with that green and it looks good. Keep it up……………..have you thought about a tint? It would really look good on your car.

Thanks man, the only thing is that I live in Minnesota and they are really strict about tinting tails and heads, i got a f'n $120 ticket for having 8000k hid's. Some mod's i will not do in MN: Lower, body kit (I don't like the look and SNOW!) and tinting tails or heads

honestly if you did a modest lowering, like 1.5in, you would see hardly any difference in snow. im 2.2in down and i did pretty well with all these freak VA blizzards. i still have lots of clearance yet it looks much better. just a thought though. im not one for kits either.

if only you could paint your tails like your headlights lol.

LOL last year I dinged up the bottom lip of my bumper in our snow storms, i think my headlights were the riskiest mod but one of the best

I'd probably fail inspection if I painted my headlights...same with tinting my tails. I'd have to take it off before inspection...such a PITA!

I agree Lex throw some window tint on there!

Just keep your eyes open on eBay for used taillights, I have seen them go for reasonably cheap...Tint a pair for daily driving and then put the non-tinted on for inspections...

By the way, your ride is looking great...
