I'm not looking to painting anything black really.. after having a murdered out car, having this color is an awesome change!!! I love it!

I'll be putting in the black retrofits, but I may sell them and build chrome housing ones instead if I dont care for them being black. I want to get stock tails back in (no tint), then I want to colormatch the brembos red with white lettering (done professionally by a friend of mine with high temp clear), then possibly polish the tc rims.

so my plan is a little bit different than the CSS norm but I think it will look awesome. I'm so sick of black everything its rediculous

op like the sig change missed the sedan part thats awesome you need to paint powder or plasti them wheels black looks good on red and are you swappin in them badass headlights
You do not have a full second to NLS. I'm trying to find the exact time spec, but I know for sure it's not a full second. Regardless, it's a fairly reasonable amount of time assuming one can shift relatively fast.

And then his stomach will drop once he sees how fast he starts ripping through a tank of gas...
