Looks good. Did you take the tail light rings off to black them out? If so, how did you get them off? I have tried to take the entire light out as suggested in other threads but have not had any luck.

You can get black vinyl tape for the belt line from out motoring, or someone else I think here used heavy duty black electrical tape. The door handles are a problem unless you're good with vinyl wrapping or want to spend a crazy amount on carbon covers, there's just not a good option anymore since artistic creations stopped producing their covers.

Unless you're planning on getting an ecu tune I highly recommend getting a sprint booster to tighten up the throttle response, it makes a world of difference.

Erik, I think I posted some tips to get them off here somewhere. Plus there are a few other posts to help. At first it seemed a little confusing until you understand getting at the clips, removing the outer upper and lower then swinging the light out to pop the inner ones.

I wish I could help more, but being from Jersey I'm working off of my phone because power is still down. If it comes back up, I'll try to chase that post down for you.
