Damn man, nice mod. It is very subtle, but it makes a great look. I love how if flows with the lines from the lip spoiler, down to the body lines on the rear Q-panel.
Quick question tho, where did you pick up the tidalwave paint color, and what brand did you get?

I think it looks sweet. Does it cover up that gay *** sidemarker light?

I don't really care too much for the tail light mod. Your car looks like a Sentra from the back now.
Is that really your exhaust or is it photochopped???

It's ok, I can't say it looks better or worse though.
What's up with the exhaust...? Looks a little too big to me.

This was my idea about a couple months ago and no one told me what type of material to use. I hate the light on the top of the taillights.

looks like he followed the top edge of the crease in the light.... if it covered more, it would also have to have the crease.... and I don't think it would look right.... plust it would be harder to make...

I could fit my head in that exhaust tip! LOL! Seriously, is it 5"?
As for the tail lights, I think they look pretty good, they certainly don't look bad.
It took me like 30 seconds to work out what you'd changed. :)
Points for creativity + effort.
EDIT: The more I see this (tail-light smoothers), the more I like it. :thumbsup:

DUDE nice mod...
and i am starting to think theres a lot of "older" people on EXD or at least very conservative ones. you guys call anything thats not stock looking, "rice"... chill his exhaust looks very clean. much better than just a KORE catback hanging there.
you people need to take some lessons on the true meaning of rice. he doesnt have a huge 5" tip screwed on to the stock exhaust pipe, its a full exhaust.
is it becuz its an elantra?? or do you go to all the sti and evo etc drivers and call them rice too for their $1000 exhaust systems with large outlets and angled tips... if they can have it and we cant then u are lacking respect for ur own car.

Lights look great! They match the tidal wave color well. Like others have said, it might not match their paint as well. Trial and error type of thing...

Well, like the half-dozen comments above me, I also noticed the huge muffler before anything else. The taillighs loog good though. Good mod idea.

Oh yeah... like it! I've always wondered about those extra useless little light bulbs at the top corners of the back lights...

i don't think it's ricey at all. i think it's nice and subtle. it makes the taillights look a little like the new spectra taillights, and also a little like the last generation mazda protege tails. nice job ilan.

VERY NICE!! I love the way the eyelids follow the lines of the spoiler. Looks very clean. I gotta give you mad props for this one, Ilan. Good concept, and very well executed. :bowdown:
Although... Regarding the exhaust tip... "You think maybe He's compensating for something?" JFWY! :D

OH - did you happen to get any night-time pictures of the tail-lights?

No yet, I have had no time. the bulbs on that area are no longer on.
Also I am from Colombia so I do like some rice too :D

A signature feature of SuperTrapp exhaust systems is the diffuser disc technology, created and patented for the XDUSOR, the first motorcycle exhaust product sold by Moller in 1971. This technology allows the ricer to adapt their bike, or ATV, to a specific riding environment. This is accomplished through a series of discs with a precisely aligned diameter that form the exhaust outlet. By adding or subtracting discs, the rider can tune the powerband and sound of their machine in just a few minutes with basic hand tools.
Removing discs decreases the exhaust opening and increases backpressure. This effectively decreases the powerband to create more low-end torque. It also decreases exhaust tone and enriches carburetion.
Adding discs increases the exhaust outlet and decreases back pressure. This widens the powerband at the top end. It also increases exhaust tone and leans out carburetion.
All SuperTrapp systems come with installation instructions that indicate the recommended number of discs for each application.
Just thought this was kind of funny :D No disrespect intended! The tails look nice :bowdown:
