I see what you guys mean when you say the pictures don't do it justice. It looks so much better in person. I'm happy so far with it.

Thanks guys, what do you think remove the chrome or black it out? I was thinking paint the emblems. As for the headlights, good idea I thought about doing that when I had my STI, I'm assuming both ways require placing them in the oven?
