Very good progress! I'm a fan of the outcome - maybe if you developed a custom lip it would finish up your front end? Very nice job though.
I'm gonna try to suggest this, but... lose the front plate?

I’ll give you 10 for originality (the only thing that matters) 
but I am not a fan of the look at all, the roof and grill look good but the bumper looks even more like a happy face now. it did turn out the way you expected and that is what's important.
Good stuff and great thread.

Just an observation and possible suggestion to add.....did you ever consider painting the vents on the hood black?...something else on the front black would enhance the look a little bit, yet still wouldnt be overdone at all, and in my opinion the headlights shouldnt be changed, unless Bi-x..
Love how you did the front air dam black, that looks sweet

and front plate; dont worry, before long you wont even notice it, thats a promise!
and for the side markers, didnt want to waste time on euro impact strips cause i may be doing full euro trim [thought of later], but dont want the hassle of taping and tucking the light right now. its not like its out of place ya know. all the light housings match.I did at first, but then opted against it cause of what I had thought about doing with the black painting. Think if I woulda made the grille white instead of black it would look off for some reason.

if your not doing the work, expect easily a good chunk of money. the guy i rented the booth from said that he woulda qouted 1k-1500 just for the roof, grille, and air dam.
