its not gray, its the same color as the headlights, so there is no difference, unless you think that the headlights themselves in general, mine or any other, look gray

It looks pretty decent for 3 bucks IMO. Obviously, not as good as the real deal but for the coin spent it's better than the amber.

Looks good to me, how about some close up pics!

With lights on and off. I think on my Arctic silver, that might look nice. Was it made for lights or just generic aluminum spraypaint.

bog ,

i went down to the bodyshop to see the car. The guy there told me the sideskirts had to be shaved on top where the door bottom is since it went up passed the door. The back bumper has to be shaved alittle to have bumperettes fit over it but other then that is was a straight fit. Most bodykits need to be adjusted alittle bit since they are not oem parts. I also got the headlight amber parts painted the same as the body color with the bodykit ,and bumperettes for 500. Now that the turn signal in the headlight is covered i plan on doing the sidemarker hack which makes it the directional (flashes with turn signal) and replace the stock orange one with the smoked pair. I replaced the rear brake lense with the smoked one for 39.95 . When i get it back i will post some pics . Personally, I feel that the car would look better in the summer with the kit and top down but it's still winter in nj so i won't get that chance to see it until April or later.

Sounds good. I hate that our headlights have useless triangles (unless you have washers there). Im thinking of putting a straight black paint and clear on them. They arnt reflective and theres no bulb in there, so why not make it match body color?

Oh also i got the 3M lense protector for the headlight so the paint doesn't chip of from the rocks from the road. The fact is I never owned a stock car in my life and the porsche I promised my wife I wouldn't change ... so what I told a little white lie.. she isn't going to leave me I think..LOL
