It looks good and I like it but, personally, I would have done the chrome on the doors too cause these cars look alot better without the chrome, and whats the white spot on the hood above the intercooler? And another question, how bright are the front blinkers being blacked out?

They're not blinkers. They're just city lights. From the looks of it, I doubt he's got any light output from them.

Actually they put out some good light I put some clear bulbs
In em and that seemed like it did the trick. Ill take some pics of em if you like. They just arnt as bright as they use to be of course. I needed a new lens and I was tires of looking around. And the lens had some chips in it so I wanted to hide them.
and the white it in the hood is primer. Where they cut the hood for the scoop it has some surface rust. And so I sanded it and just put some primer on it for now.
And I thought about blacking out the crome I'm gonna put some electrical tape over it and see what I think. Ik on the bumpers when i do them the chrome is gonna get painted over bc it's pretty chipped on the front one.

Some pictures of the corner lights would be great, did you just use black paint or lense tinting stuff?

It's spray tint. I was gonna take some pics tonight but my camera is dead sorry. So I'll try tomorrow. The clear 1157's help quite a bit.

Yeah I like it. I was just gonna paint the inside of the housing black but I found a side marker for like 5 bucks with a scratched lens so just tinted it. And I used vht night shades from autozone. They look good at night time.

I also changed the bulbs to clear instead of the yellow. That helped.

When I give this a shot I'll probably go with l.e.d. bulbs if I can find some in amber locally, if not order online and finish my l.e.d. exterior light swap. I don't know if all Autozones carry them but you can get red 1157 l.e.d. bulbs and put them in the tail lights without a problem, and then you don't have to worry about a tail light bulb burning out. The brand of the l.e.d. bulbs is Jam Straight and, in my local Autozone, they are at the bottom of the shelf.
