        you gotta french the fogs, and black out the turn signals so you dont get contrasting yellows and oranges

          IMO, it gives the car a more aggressive look. Fogs are getting it tomorrow.

            good! once you get those turn signals black it will look clean. good move with the yellow air freshener as well.

                  Is this done the same way as smoking your highbeams (in Jordan's tutorial)?

                      As long as you do it for cosmetic reasons vs performance I'm all for it.

                        matches your air freshener ha

                        this might be dumb because im a noob but, if you french the fog and put clear turns on then youd have french inners and clear outers.

                              For some reason I think frenching your lows would look better. They still look good though
