very nice! i had an lt before i traded it in for the ss... like whats done so far, just a few suggestions: i'd go away from the stick on taillight tint (i've used it before too), put some vht nightshades on them and some clear coat.. B-A-utiful! also deff get some lowering springs or coilovers! lower ride deff makes a difference in looking clean! and just me being picky, lol, i prefer the headlights with non-amber parking light housing, but thats just what i prefer..haha... but other than that looks realy clean! keep it up, i know from experience from owning a lt (mine was same silver too!) that its not easy to do up without looking to gawky!

I think it looks pretty damn good, even for an Lt! I need to wash mine tomorrow since Im off. Need to wax it and clean it out as well
the solution is a bump... puts you on the updated topic bar.

Yeah it needs it bad...Any recommendations? I got the whole FE5 setup (springs shocks struts from a SS/SC) just dont know if that would lower it enough.

with the tint all it is, is a spray can that you can get at just about any automotive store. The product is called VHT Nightshades. all you do is remove the overlays of course (i hear ya on that one, i hated them too) lightly scuff up your taillights with some sandpaper, not too hard to make any serious scratches, just enough so the paint will stick. then tape off the rest that you dont want sprayed. once the prepping is done all you have to do is apply the VHT Nightshades, you can put any number of coats on just depends on how dark you want them. just make sure your lights are visible for how ever many feet that your state law requires. after the Nightshades dries, then your coat the hell out of them with some clear coat for a silky smooth finish!
and here is a pic of mine with the tint..
sorry about the large image!

ooh, and when you spray your taillights with the Nightshade, remove them from the car, lol... a million times easier and just about the only way you can do it so that it'll come out perfect!

i just used a body filler and a insert that kinda looks like a really short *****. Weld it inside and then filled and sanded it down. Same with the spoiler holes except they look like mini ******.
Now come on ...im not that dumb.
