    looks very cool. i am also very curious how you got the tails to look that good
    A little nonsense now and then
    is relished by the wisest men.

    The armrest and rear strut bar looks great.

    Not a big fan of having name plates of stuff on your car that you dont really have. Kinda to for me in my in my opinion. Thats me tho.

    FART CAN!:lol oh well,it could be worse I guess.....the tails are painted with a special tailight paint I got from japan (JDM paint yeah!!) anyways its very exspensive (around $30 for a small spray can) and works very nicely....but I have been doing bodywork and painting for 8yrs now so I guess that helps too..
    osiris: the reason I have those tags on the back is because the DX emblem is ugly and my accord emblem broke in half while I was using a brush at the carwash,so rather than pay alot for factory emblems I bought the typer for its size (I do like it tho)and the accord because it was free,just trying to explain it to you yo...its funny how many people ask if its a real typer:smokin:

    yeah I thought about that,painting the bumpers and side moldings and all,but I like the way it looks like that,it does need a repaint tho....

    :lol! You should definitely do the light borders the color of your car...it looks waaaaaayyyy cleaner. Check out my car, I did it to mine, and even though the paint isn't an exact match, it's pretty good. I should've put a clear coat over it though
