If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

You can always buy auto smoke paint to get the same effect on your reflectors. Someone here, no doubt, will have a link with an image.

VHT Nite Shades (SP999) is a transparent black tail light lens coating for creating a custom European styling. When applied to tail lights, fog lights or turn indicators, VHT Nite Shades appears black until they are lit, then the natural red colour appears. Recommended for off road use. Warning: Once applied to plastic lens, SP999 is not able to be satisfactorily removed. Recommended for off-road use.

Cool thanks Okibi.. I would imagine the reflecters would no longer 'reflect' once thats applied? Is that correct??? I wouldnt use it on any of my lights, only the 4 reflectors... for the indicators I'd probably look at getting the smoke ones....

And he couldn't put all these bling accessories on a male car! Everyone would think it was gay. It's a female car now so Matt's skanking her up a bit. :mrgreen:

LOL thanks fellas.

Yeah, Lara needed a few exterior mods to express her personality. Photos coming soon.

Don't worry too much, she is still at heart a hard working track lovin' car, with the hotdog exhaust to express that :mrgreen:

With bling purchased, now we start saving for the next mods, AVO Stage 1 kit, CAMS approved Brown Davis Steel Roll Bar and a new soft top with glass.
