That looks great! I've been hoping someone would do that so I could see what it looks like. I really like what you've done with the tail lights and rear valence. What did you use to black out the tails?

Your ride looks really good, really hot!! Slammed is good. One thing I would strongly suggest: swap out the UDP and replace it with a DMD. I just had mine done and I can't believe the difference. The engine seems to run easier and the idle is sooo much smooother. I have the HO alternator and the lights were dimming alot at idle. They still do but not nearly as much. Swap it out, it'll be better for your engine vs. the miniscule hp gain it gives you.

TOUR96SE,
you said you painted your rear valence black. I've been thinking of doing this. I bought mine w/ it painted silver. Can you post some before after pics?
Since you had both, which way do you like better...black or painted to match car?
Im starting to think that when it painted to match the car its starting look look like one of those ricer kids who get a average run of the mill type car (cavalier etc.) and buy body kits for their cars to rice them up and paint the entire kit...and it just looks redic on their cars.
Im starting to think the stock flat black valence gives it a more perfomance/newer car look to it (i.e. the new Audi's and VW's have their back bumper valence painted this way)plus cobra mustangs etc. have the flat black rear valence
I think tht painting them a glossy black is way better than painting it boady color and for the stock black I think it just looks like Frod was to cheap to paint it along with the grilles.
I had mine painted gloss black and its so hot!

actually i have no idol problems at all...hasnt moved a rpm...it does seem to have better throttle response...but you can def tell the difference in the vibrations above 4500 rpms...i dont ride around up there so i think i'll stay with the better tr....

looks damn clean man
I don't really like the painted rear valence though because there is nothing on there that goes with it.
