Nice car, and i thought ur lights were blacked out? arent canadian spec p5's suppose to come with blacked out lights stock?
 
Welcome! Nice color. It's the fastest one ever. Hahaha.
 
thanks everyone.

to address some comments,

the door sills came from a flea market, seller said he picked them up from a flea market as well.

i am planning on blacking out the headlights, since its a '02 and i hate the chrome. and nobody will swap from around here.


the 6 rear wiper was put on a couple days after i got the car. looks way better plus the stocker was mangled and didn't clean the window anyways.
