Thanks guys, that was fast!
Rockblocker overlays...smoked headlights, yellow fogs. Also have yellow Luminics fog bulbs so they are really yellow at night.
Do you guys like the smoked headlights because I was thinking about removing them but keeping the fogs.

the car looks very good. love the bronze mp3 wheels, overlays and the whole scheme. not a fan of the decals but its a good accent color to the bronze and the blue. almost gets me motivated to get my lazy ass offa the couch and clean my filthy car. keep it up mang
edit: i say tint the tails. its just too much red in the rear end and it will help bring the rear end in theme with the rest of the car.

Nice P5. I love the bronze rims. Put a little drop on it and you'd be be set.

It does limit the light output a little more than I expected or wanted. I love them and I hate them. In certain lights, they are pitch black and you can't even see the headlight (which I like for the daytime) but in direct sunlight they just look brown (which I hate).

Awesome!
Unfortunately, the suspension is still stock with the exception of a Progress 22mm rear sway bar. Once I get some cash saved up after the holidays I'll be getting my baby a set of Tokico Blues and Espilir springs (maybe some Tein Basics but not sure of affordability), AWR endlinks, and new front and rear strut tower bars.
The exhaust setup I have on my car is a little bit of a Frankenstein. I have Racing Beat piping up until the axle-back and then it's the HKS Hi-Power. Since Racing Beat used the stock locations for bolting the pipes together, the HKS fit perfectly. I was a little concerned with the differing pipe diameters (Racing Beat = 60mm, HKS = 55mm) and the possibility of a bottle-neck in the flow, but the butt-dyno tells me there was no negative change and it sounds awesome!

Thanks, I did the whole refinishing job myself. A couple of other members were generous enough to point me in the right direction as far as brand and color name of the shade of gold/bronze, so many thanks to you!
The original finish was starting to oxidize and peel (I think there was even a recall for you MP3 guys) so I sanded everything off...2 coats of primer, wet-sanding with 2000 grit, then 5 coats of color. The inside of the rim is even refinished, not just the face. I also disassembled the center caps (pulled all the screws out) and did the red around the Racing Hart MP3 badge. Since I'm a college student with a job and little extra time, it took me about 3-1/2 weeks to get the job done. Your complements are making all that elbow grease worth it!
