Another option is go buy some tint to do the lights. You can always take it off with ease when needed later on. You can buy some at hobby shops or lamin-x (real deal). The lamin-x will protect your lights from rocks too.

Sweet car man, love the tint and most of all, the pillars. I am looking for leather to match my car seats, but I am not coming across any. Does the shop in Canada have a website? The color I'm looking for is a dove grey and all I have seen is black/brown.

You slide them towards the front wheel while pulling outward. That's how mine came off.

Nice, all you need now is to get the Depo Euro ellipsoids and some HID's!

What is your guys opinion on smoked corners for a silver ti? I've thought about it but can't decide. they look GREAT on yours and i've seen them on white but not silver.
