looks awesome. that's the proper way to do taillights and antenna. i'm fixing on getting the wrc antenna:


Thanks HKC fing02.gif

That antenna looks awesome, where'd you find it?

Thanks man. It looks good. Too bad it doesnt fit right. I hate having to go out and find ways to make it fit lol. But I might get it because its so cheap.

And fake carbon fiber? The advertisement clearly says 100% real carbon fiber. haha.


Thanks BB, I'm guessing you're going to have fitment issues with all after-market antennas, especially on a tib lol.

And ya, "REAL CARBON FIBER" lmao.gif I think it's actually some kind of woven fabric lmao.gif lmao.gif lmao.gif

shorty antenna looks good.. not a fan of the tails though.


Thanks SOCKS, I know you're not a fan of the two-tone tails, but to each his own fing02.gif

tails look alright...but can look better if you clearcoat them


I was planning on clear-coating them, but I didn't fell like I did a good enough job to make it permanent yet. I'll probably redo them in the future.

Thanks man, post up some pics of yours, I'd like to see them.

I had a nice new bottle of turtlewax rubbing compund but I couldn't find it, so I ended up going out and buying a $2 bottle of scratch-x owned.gif

Thanks for the wet cloth tip, I'll use that next time fing02.gif

^^^Here's some pics of mine. Just went up and re-installed them today. No outside pics as the car is in hibernation till spring. Keep in mind that I polished by hand, if I would have had a power polisher it would have came out even better. And I did not use clearcoat, there is no need for it if you do it properly.
