New tails + valance + painted time attack and sway bar question

Well I finally found niteshade and painted my tails even darker. Also did rear valance flat black to match the roof and painted time attack on the rear two rims.

Before:




After:


Also it looks like my rear sway bar is not connected on the left side. Here are pics of both sides. Will this go right back on or do I need a new piece? Probably not a big deal prob just negagates my rear sways bar right?

Left side:


Right Side:

Painted tail lights looks so much better than overlay. Did you paint those tails yourself? Mind sharing what you used or possibly a DIY?

Looks good man.

That sway bar doesn't look right. Have you gone under the car and made sure everything was ok? Looks like it might be your end link that's off

He used Niteshade, you can find it on eBay sometimes or other sites. Its basically a translucent black spray.

Oh I see...I thought Niteshade meant something else.

Do you have any closer shots of the tailights? Does it have that orange peel look or a nice glossy look?

VIP i think if you took the S off the trunk it would look much cleaner, it just seems out of place.

I don't know just how low your car is dropped, but apparently your end link and the laws of physics rebelled against it. I hope you aren't driving it around with that broken end link. If so, good luck.
