    Just bought my Blue Green baby yesterday! It's just the base model. I'm not big into power mods but I do like to make my cars look good! Plan on changing out all the lights (headlights, interiors, reverse, etc) with some hid-esque bulbs... any advice? Also plan on getting some black headlights as well.




    Let the fun begin!

    So basically you are saying to get these and call the front end good (besides the fog lights)? Should I get a kit for the fog lights as well? If so what would you recommend? Thanks in advance!

    I would just put LEDs or good sylvania bulbs in the fogs. HIDs have been known to melt fog light housings. Especially if you have the split fogs (yellow and white) because the space for each bulb to dissapate heat is cut in half.

    So throw some leds or silverstars in the fogs? I love the look of the headlights! I can't wait to throw them on. Do you think the chrome pillars would look good with the color of my car? I want to see how they look but I can't find pictures anywhere! I want to know but not enough to go buy them and see.

    Negative. Chrome pillars look terrible. Look into 3M carbon fiber dinoc. You can get it cheap, it goes on smooth and easy, and doesn't have that "I wish I was ballin on a wal-mart budget" look.

    Lmao... that is a legit point. How much would something like that cost (the CF dinoc)?

    You can find it on e-bay, the price depends on how much you order.
