I agree. ToXIc's car is fantastic. Excellent mods and a sexy appearance, with a lot of DIY pride.

However, I'm not digging the eyelid. Behind the lens it ends up looking pink. I think maybe if that were gloss black...

Maybe it's the way they show up through photos, I know quite a few pics I've taken don't represent the true color to our eyes, but
The quality job and the minimal accent works for me though

And I'm jelly over that cutoff

correct the headlight cover does change the tint of the eyelid slightly to the human eye but the photos definitely changes the color more depending on the angle to.

Looks good as always T. Good to see you went back to the chrome Fog rings. Looks much better that way IMO....

Pretty common knowledge that I'm not a fan of chrome but I must say, this has just the right amount, from the upper window trim, to the headlight bezels, grill trim, down to the lug nuts. Couldn't really retain the chrome any better.

same here man.. i hate chrome or any shiney bits.. i've seen some blacked out red sedans out there and they look great but for some reason it didnt grab a hold of me.. So i began looking at ways to reduce the chrome but not eliminate it and to do that properly i didnt want to totally blacken out one area.. but to leave a lil bit here and there to tie the areas in together..

i'm looking at making an emblem less grill but i'm worried that my friend wont be able to reproduce the midnight look with the paint.. or who knows the blacked out emblem less grill may work..

You already do. Gunmetal sport coupe rims are completely legit.

Besides, "legit" is pretty subjective. My Vossens are pretty, but they're just cast monoblocks, like your Enkies.

From a practicality stand-point, pretty sure brand is irrelevant.

Lots of love in the forum for Hotchkis. And it's not too hard to find a good deal on them, new or used.

They have adjustment holes, I am on stock endlinks. I think any aftermarket swaybar being lowered will cause stock endlinks to snap after a while.
