<![CDATA[Just sayin hi.]]>Just got myself a 2001.5 Passat turbo. Love the car but I need to start moddin it so it doesn't look like everyone's aunt's car. I just bought my first part for it. A black blank grill. Looks good but lonely. I will be getting a set of black angel eye headlights in a couple weeks and from tehere I need to lower it get a lip spoiler, tint the windows and find some decent rims. I think i'm gonna wait with the lowering and rims until spring.

Just wondering what you guys think about tinting my taillights. I cannot find any aftermarket tails for a B5.5.

I did end up tinting my own tails, way easier than I thought. They did get a little darker than I thought, but they will lok even better when I get the windows tinted. I got clear signal bulbs for the rear blinkers. I think they look good so that's all that matters. I got some new white headlights, which look very good too. I got my Blitz dual turbo timer installed at Roadsounds, they did an excellent job and were very profesional, cheaper than tintmasters too. Nothing against tintmasters, they're the ones that gave me a deal on teh turbo timer. That's about it for now.

I also stopped at advanced auto to get an estimate on getting my lowers painted. the guy said he wouldn't do it, said it would chip off right away. He said you can't paint plastic and have it stick. maybe he was talking about different kinds of plastic because i've noticed that paint sticks to Saturns. Oh well, i'll find someone to do it.

I think that it would look good, but I wouldn't do anything more noticeable than that. I think that the cherry red color is a good idea because it is still pretty classy.

As far as the taillights go, sounds like you're wanting to do a lot of black accents on the car, which sounds awesome. I see no problem in darkening up the taillights. Just be sure you do a good job.

And Tony, unless the rims are balls heavy, I say stick with 'em, they add a lot of character, b/c you know that EVERYONE is in the 'OMG must have bronze rims' mentality, which is why I'm kinda glad I have silver rims, instead of gold spoke/silver lip like I planned.

See, hawtness:
