I don't think I've officially posted pics of my car in the gallery yet so I figured I would share. Feel free to comment, give opinions, make suggestions, criticize...just let me know what you think!

You need more black in there. 5% tinted windows perhaps? :wink:

Begging for tinted windows, a drop, and MAYBE even some black-headlight covers for the daytime.

Your car looks great! Everytime I see yours, I keep thinking I need to tint my tails. The black on black look is always sleek. Nicely done!

Um, it *is* dropped. Stock Ions, redline or not, look like they have a lift kit installed on them. The wheel gap is that bad. :(
Now black out/CF your emblems and paint your headlight chrome. Use vinyl or something simple. The red of the logos sticks out, and the headlight painting is ridiculously easy. (Mine turned out just fine :) )
Your RL didn't come with a pinstripe? A small silver one might be a good accent on it.

Crack those headlights open and paint that chrome black it will look 100 times better I think. I dont like the black vinyl headlight covers. That tint and the before mentioned small silver pinstripe it would look great.

Thanks guys!

I'm holding off on tint for now until I get a waiver from the DMV, for some reason everybody around here gets pulled over for that. I feel I've pressed my luck with the tails for long enough lol. And unfortunately, it IS dropped...like QCs R4 Girls said, they come with a lift on 'em haha...with the 18s on there, unless I got a thinner tire, any lower and I'm rubbing my rear wheel well.

And as for the headlights, I've got a spare set sitting in that dirty garage that I have plans for. To give you a hint, if you look at my headlights, you'll notice they're extremely similar in shape to an Audi R8 headlight...can you say awesome retro-fit project?

There's a picture of R8 headlights chopped onto a Saturn floating around on the Ion forums:

That little orange strip in the corner was how I got the idea for my tinted corner markers. Between the DLR & the side markers, there's just entirely too much orange on the front end of those cars.
