Great start. Is you plan to really black everything out though?

No, not really. Just the tail lights left. Thinking about doing the Audi daytime headlight running lights?

Be careful about getting your tails too dark. The biggest difference to complete your look IMO is to black out the window trim, grill, and maybe get your headlights done.

Looks good though.

Very nice, congrats and welcome to MYG37.

As for the 'Audi' lights...the Kia Sportage has them too

I have yet to see any LED DRL added to a 2nd gen G that look integrated to the point that they 'belong' on the front of this car. Even the LED from Infiniti don't look 'cool' IMO, like on many other brands.

Given the chrome on the rims, keeping the chrome trim will still look good, too. What rims are those?

Nice car. Another option for your tail lights is an overlay or something fancy from 180. Here are two links since I have them bookmarked. Normally I would tell you to search but I'm feeling nice today

Yes, I plan on keeping the chrome trim around the windows to match the Lip on the rims. I am planning on just doing something with my lights

They are 20' American Racing Burn Glossy Black Center Wheels.

Thanks Rabbit, preciate it. Ill take a look

Congrats, car looks great. I couldnt tell by the glare but do you have midnight black grille? Also I think you should go back to your Tint Guy, he cut the third brake like and it really throws off the look of the car IMO. For the Tail Lights I'd say get them painted as they look a heck of a lot better than Vinyl wrap

Good catch on the 3rd brake light tint...I agree.
My tint guy did the same on my 07 and fixed it no-charge. When I bought the 11, I reminded them not to cut around it.
Overlays are much easier to reverse later though. If applied well they look great.

+1. It's not an Audi. Don't do 'Audi' lights. Same goes for the rings. It's not a BMW.

black it out!! do the lips on the rims too! use plast-dip,it just peals off when you dont want it anymore.. i did all the chrome pieces on my moonlight white sedan. i get a lot of compliments on it,well my wife does.. its her car..She and her mom went and got this car when i was out of town working.. i told her since we have 2 kids. One who is 12 and the new one that is just a month now, to get a dark interior and a somewhat dark exterior.. well she came home with moonlight white with sand interior.. Im glad we got the interior warranty!!!

The grill is still chrome. Yea not sure y my tint guy did that. I noticed as he was doing it but didn't think to say anything lol.

As for the tail lights, not sure what I am going to do. All I know is that the stock tail lights are a little to red for the look im goin or.
