I have tentative plans to do that (possibly black), but I kinda like them gray... goes with the color of the car.

Yeah but with the HL covers it would look pretty sweet.I admit the grey looks good with the car... but i guess now that mines painted the grey just looks ugly to me.Either way your car has come a long way... i wish one of us had gotten those side rockers.

Nice Vibe, Toasted +1 on the paint your grilles opinion. The gray matches the car but I think black grilles would give it a little contrast and look good with your headlight covers.

If I paint my grills black then I need to disable my DRLs so the headlights don't shine through the headlight covers when I'm driving. I have been reading a lot of posts on how to disable the DRLs by installing a switch, so they can work normal as well. That will be a future mod for me for sure.

lookin nice, i'm lovin the b pillar overlays too. i've always wondered how the LEDs looked when they're turned on. i thought about gettin em for the Z i used to have, but since i never actually saw em except for the pics on advertisements(which are usually enhanced), i played it safe in case they looked like crap. they look really good though, how much did they cost you??

Those LEDs ran me about $400... they are pretty bright and they do a LOT of different colors. There are two bars of LEDs in the front and the back and 3 bars down each side. I'm still trying to tweak them in order to get them to look more uniform in color under the car. Also looking for a pair of 06 sideskirts to put on my car to hide the LEDs, but those are tough to find.

Man, I would put more of a drop than a Pro-kit on that! It is definitely looking sharp! Just need to lose that wheel-gap!

I would put more of a drop on it than that, but I have to drive this car for work... and I can't afford to drop it more than that due to "hazardous" conditions and such. Believe me, if I could... I would.

From what I have been told they are legal but you do have to have supplimental headlights on the vehicle. (fog lights)

I love it man.... I'm not a fan of the headlight covers though, just personal prefrence, i don't like cutting the amount of light i have, just me though, it "looks" hot... Those B-piller covers are killer, i would have to wrap them in real CF myself, but again, that's just me... I see your car PC is showing RIP..??? What happened?

The PC is still functional, but the in-dash LCD bit the dust. No display... no working PC It is ok though... wasn't that great anyway, just a little something I wanted to try. All of that stuff is coming out soon anyway.

I got my headlight covers from another GVC member... They are made by AVS. I'm sure you could find them if you browse around the web... maybe even eBay. EDIT: found 'em for ya!

Not sure if they are leagal in Ohio or not, but I have had them on day and night (sometimes) and cops look right at me and say nothing... so I have to assume they are legal here.
