It's been a while

It's been a while but at last nearly there.

You've done a lot of work on her! I like the triple pipes- cool, cool! Super clean and looks totally modern. Nicely done
How did you do the tint on the headlights and taillights? Are the wheels 18's? Stock ride height?

Thanks woodsman, i fully tinted the headlights using a product called "Spy Vision" from e-bay, and then very carefully cut out the main part using a scalpul. The tail lights are fully spayed using black varnish, with the reverse light masked out, upgrade the bulbs from 5 watt to 10 watt and hey presto. The wheels are 18 inch and the ride height is stock. I'm toying with the idea of lowering just the front for a meaner looking stance but not sure what effect this will have on drive-ability.
Drilled and grooved discs with new pads have made a big difference, absolutely love the ride feel since fitting the 18's with 225/40 Fr and 265/35 R.
I was looking for a more modern and purposeful look, with function.
