Agreed, definitely ditch the extra lights, doesn't matter what they cost, it looks kinda tacky. What's your purpose for wanting them? :lol: Get some fake vents, paint 'em black and be happy. (IMO)

Other than that, I like most of what you've got going. Black housed headlights and tails would look "better" to me, though. I like the paint with the bronze wheels...a lot.

Purpose for having them. Something diff., never seen it done before. As for the fogs I do a lot!! of night time driving and around here there are tons! of deer. So I like to be able to see the road and whats around me. And my HID's only do so much but I wanted more.

I will be honest, I like this 3G. The purple looks great and the bronze (are they gold?) wheels really work. I like the invader hood painted and the drop/lip kit looks great as well. Please lose those extra turn signals...so pointless. Also, get some black housing headlights and black TYCs if you can. Overall, great work and quality parts. Everything is tasteful. The purple may be flashy (especially with that wing) but I really think it works. Keep up the good work.

Do this: Ditch the tinted headlights altogether. Those housings are already pretty crappy output wise compared to other aftermarket options, but being tinted means you're getting a whopping 1/3 of a crappy beam.

If you want brightness up front you need to talk to me about retrofits http://www.facebook.com/IconicDesignz. If you had me make a retrofitted set of lights for you then you wouldn't need all the fog lights up front, so you can get your $200 back by selling the 2 pairs you have which badly clutter up that grille.

On your turn signals I give you 3/5 for the idea and 1/5 for your execution. The only way something like that would look remotely attractive is if you cut the housings to more closely match the different sized fake vents. They look very out of place as they are. I personally think it could look very attractive if done properly on an 03+ bumper.

Yeah that's probably it. I don't think I've seen a 3g on here with shaved handles before, so just wondering.

OP, I'm not a fan of your style in mods. BUT I will concede that all mods look like they have been done cleanly and with care. :yesway:

I thought I was going to hate this car but, then I saw the pics. The lines are clean the lip and skirt moldings are done very well. the intake and valve covers are definitely different but they fit LOVE the purple and gold!! I do agree with everyone above me ditch the extra turns another guy on here tried to do it a few months ago and it just doesnt look very good at all. Over all nice job

All of the lights in the front remind me of the van used in I Am Legend. Im not a fan of those tails and reverse lights as well as the odd spikes around the gas cap, But to each his own. The purple looks great and the wheels go with it really well.
