That looks pretty good to me, Chris.

The only things I may have done was the side-emblem Z, since it's chrome, and since the taillights were done, I'd have done the headlights, but that may just be my OCD or some other disorder I have.

Best buy you pay taxes though.

I think I would have to pay taxes regardless being in Texas.

The headlights are chromed, haven't got them painted yet.

And the side Z isn't red. I only wanted the Red to come out.

Thanks bud!

Okay okay.

Then, one more piece of criticism, and this is why I think I said to do the headlights - you did the reverse & turn signals on the taillights it seems?

I only said the Z, because I think it looks kind of dull as it is and it'd pop a little more, but if you want just red, it still looks good!

Haboob

And yes, I'm this picky about everything.

XwChriswX

Now you're starting to get into the advanced nit picky arena. Don't worry, I will get there soon... I just installed this stuff last night, so still working the kinks out.

As to answer your thoughts, No, I did not intend to do the turn/reverse lights. I've got the pointer down to a super small size, but it's still highlighting stuff I don't want. So without 3 hours per photo to make things finite, no I can't do that much detail right now. Plus the photo is not the RAW format, it's an already edited/resized photo so I can't zoom in to 500%

I get what you're saying about the Z though, might have to look into that.

Not if you order it online from a vendor out of state...

Currently, there is legislation being proposed that allows vendors to charge tax on any online sales. This will screw over small businesses and individual consumers alike. In addition, individuals will be subject to auditors from out of state Ridiculous: the kind of $hit that goes on in Congress

Yeah it's called Use Tax and most states already enforce it. Basically on the state tax return they ask you to provide the amount you have purchased out of state and then how much tax you paid on that amount (if 0 tax paid, you will owe to the state)

While still not yet tracked too much, if the state govt wants to audit amazon, and other online vendors, they will see who the sales were made to and then ask if taxes were paid, if they were not, the State can hold you liable for taxes+interest for late taxes+ penalty for not showing it on the tax return.

In Illinois the use tax went into effect 2011, but most professionals think it will not be enforced until 2015.

Well, I just installed CS6 here at work, so I'm gonna play with it too!

Not for Amazon.com though. That was one of the stipulations (sp?) of luring Amazon back in. They didn't have to pay back what was due before, but would have to start charging tax from whatever point on.
