Keep the rear lights mate. Look mint sticking with the colour code.

I would work on the front end first, get crystal headlights and clear side lights. Either get crystal fog lights or get some fog light covers on. Then the front end will look top. If possible give it the facelift bonnet and grill, but that can be expensive, so just the lights would be a cheap and easy mod that will really pay off

You could prob sell your afterburners on ebay to someone for a good enough price and put it towards sti lights. think they are about 140 but don't quote me on that.

around £180-200 new. maybe less from ebay second hand. but they would look soo much better than what you have on now...

lexus/afterburner lights are too chav in many (inc my) eyes. look cheap imho. rest of the car has a great stelth look to it. im gonna get the black crystal lights set up for my car which is something you should look into. same as the normal crystal lights, but blacked inside, look fooking terrifying

Descisions descions I do want a stealthy dark look to it,i will have to flip a coin over it.

It will be going in for a full respray soon,hopefully before xmas,after taking the stikers off some paint came off with it,it had a very thin layer of paint all over and there are a few little rust spots to sort out too,so i will get it done in one hit.Then hopefully some prezzys,as its my first scooby,you have to spoil them dont you

Its got a custom made back box by charlie down at pro-speed rubberscooby ,its a good 5inches wide,and loud as hell

Stealthy? With the biggest ever scooby wing on the back... I think not.

Agree the lights don't do anything for the car, but then again neither does that wing IMHO. Thing is, it's about what you like and everyone will have a different view. Generally a nice example though.

Looking very nice. But personally I`d lose the lexarse lights, looks like you`ve reversed into Halfrauds cr*pspeed display.

Just my opinion. Not a fan of decals either. But its all down to personal preference.

P.S Enjoy

Get some facelift black crystal headlights and sidelights, ebay will be your friend for them. Go really well with a black car and don't need to change your bonnet or grille.



Fitted to my car, obviously not black.

just curious micky, how hard do you think it would be to set the light beam, as mine are electric adjustable, not manual. ie the dash has a little dial with 0,1,2,3 settings on. whats your car got?

No idea how hard Andy. I think you can buy the lights with electric adjustment though.
