I like everything except the yellow luminix type film on the headlights.
Black grille, looks good. Yellow fogs, looks good. Just not feelin' the yellow headlight film.
Either way, it definitely makes the car look unique.

Answers to some questions :
1. Camarillo Stake Center parking lot, Ventura County.
2. Lorinser roof & trunk spoilers.
3. Rims are Brabus Monobloc VI replicas by Moven I believe, I don't recall the offset, sorry.
4. No rubing on front tires unless I do a tight U-Turn, rear tires used to rub when I used Michelin Pilot Sports, now I use Falkens which have a slightly inverted shoulder that matches the wheel arch & fits nicley, no rubbing now.
5. I've always been facinated with the yellow lights, when I was a kid a guy on my street had some yellow fogs on his 80's Scirrocco & I loved them, ever since then I've been obsessed with the yellow look, to many people have blue in my opinion, I pay the price though, it's a freakin' cop magnet, I'll have to get one of thoses "I Support Cops" stickers...

I have one of those stickers... it's worthless. I still get pulled over like no other... the HID fogs and bix are definitely a magnet...

The grill is the stocker, I had it painted black (2nd time though, it chips easily because it's over the plastic chrome), i never got into the flat hood emblem thing, I dig the hood star so I painted it black too, I've never seen another black hood star, besides i couldn't pretend I have a laser targeting system for my knight Rider missle launchers without my "Targeting Star"!!!

In order to put a picture in your signature, you have to do it this way. I use photobucket, but I'm sure there are a lot of other sites that people can recommend.

Even though I'm not feelin' the yellow tint on the bi-x, it sure looks Mean as hell! That pic in your signature looks bad-***!
To be more conspicuous, you might want to see how much it'll cost to buy the 3000K HID yellow bulbs from flip at CarLab.

Those are 3K H.I.D. bulbs in the fogs & low beams, the yellow lens tint just gives it a deeper yellow, check the thread in this forum on the 3K H.I.D. & you'll see more. The origional Xenon bulbs (Low Beam) had a funky green tint to them with the yellow film on, so I changed them to 3K's. By the way I finnally uploaded my pic in the signature but I think it's too damn big, I've tried to re-size it to 50 even 25% of the origional 800x600 but everytime I preview it it turns out the same size, any ideas?

I guess I'll have to be the only holdout here.
Don't like:
the roof spoiler AND the trunk spoiler - too much
replicas of any kind, let alone chrome ones
a car dropped that low
the yellow headlight film (do like yellow fogs, though - have 'em myself)
the cross on the trunk
windshield banner
Of course, most people think my car looks dumb, so everybody's got their own taste. Like what you've done with the grill, and yeah, mine chips very easily, too.
