So after a long wait, like a month or so due to manufacturer backlogs, the new tails finally come in. Props to Focis8nt to source the tails and NOS2Go4Me for helping with paypal.

So it looks like the overwhelming majority stands so far. My car's colour sucks. I guess i picked the worst car of the bunch.
Gold car = unpopular
Sedan = unpopular
Automatic Tranny = unpopular
SPI = Very unpopular
Black Taillights that next to no one likes = somewhat unpopular
Steelie rims = definitely unpopular
I think it's official, I have the shittiest car here. :(
My car = :lame:

Feh, as long as she runs and gets you where you need to go without breaking your bank account, it's all good in my books :) 'Sides steel rims have one advantage, they can actually take the occasional curbing without folding like origami :lol:

Your car isnt lame...
think about this....
do you have to bike everywhere.....NO
do you have to rely on shitty public transportation.....NO
Can you say, at least I got a ride.....YES
By the way, In my opinion those tails work because your car is gold....they are a little busy for me, but by no means are they ugly or make your car 'lame'..
just my 2 cents..

I like em, if you could get rid of that chrome surrounding inside the lights, youd be even better off.
Get some wheels man....Some nice Stockers painted gunmetal would look sweet. ;) I have some for sale to :lol:

I think they look pretty clean. The tailights go nicely with your window tint. I can't remember but did you nightshade your corners and your front grille?

i like that idea oscar, that would look pretty sick, and very unique. But as i said before, i like the tails on your car, and if anyone flames you for your "Euro"/"Altezza"'s, their flaming a few of us on here, and were all gonna stick together :P

Thanks guys.
Yeah she's only a start. I'll get the turns tinted when the "Tintmaster" (NOS) comes back from the honeymoon.
I do have the SVT black headlights and SVT grills going on as well, all I gotta do is get to Richmond Hill to pick em up.
As for rims, nothing's gonna happen until I score up some more cash. *hopes the bonus check is big* :D
