Changed the look of my car....pics

Finally got my car back from Evolution Motorsport. The car runs great, very happy with it. As far as performance, OMG what a difference than stock. I also added smoked tail lights and a MAshaw CF add on GT2 and powdercoated tailpipes. I am not convinced about the tail pipes just yet, maybe they will grow on me. I plan on getting a GT2 front bumper and CF side mirrors soon.
Thanks and hope you enjoy the pics.

Yes, you certainly did change the look!

I'm not sure I'm feeling the really dark tail lights next to the bright Guards Red, though. It's almost too much contrast. It reminds me too much of those old light covers you used to see so often...

Agree the lights are not working for me....But if they are working for you I guess thats all that really matters.

Well I really like the smoked tail lights. Maybe they are better in person, the pics make them look quite dark. With the lights on they are very clear and crisp.

How'd you do the taillight tint?

I like it, but IMO the tailpipes don't look like they fit right. Maybe need to be tucked under and lifted a little more?

Agree with others...looks good, but would look better with the tail lights a shade or two lighter.

As it is, it seems to draw too much attention away from the rest of the car.

tell me about the new gt650?

Torresmd, Correct me if I am wrong but I think you got evoms new gt650? Mike confirmed this in a phone conversation about a week ago. I am talking with him and Stephen Kasper about yours or a gt640 IA does. May I ask did you start with a stock tt or X50 car? Other than faster, can you explain how the difference feels and what exactly came with your kit? What was your overall experience like and what kind of gains did you see from your baseline pre/post install on a all wheel dyno? Thanks for your time, I am really close and a buddy and I are getting ready to fly out to meet the two above tuners soon. Although to my dissapointment Mike has not followed up with me after a phone call and email requesting his new found data on this new gt650 kit which was over a week ago which will end up making my decision on who to go with much easier. Any info you can provide would be great.
