Great looking car. The front bumper looks especially well done.

It's a good looking car! The side skirts look really good, but maybe too much with the chrome door trim along the bottom. Maybe take the chrome door trim off and put vinyl on the window trim?

Does the lamin-x film on the headlight decrease the visibility of the lights. I really wanted to to put some on but didnt want to decrease light output. The vinyl on the bumper does indeed look well done.

Lamin-x is nice! Did you install them yourself? The headlights are a biatch because of those three grooves.

the lamin-x does not mess with light output at all IMO... I installed it myself and it was a pain in the *** with those 3 groves but I got it done....

Thanks for the comments and suggestions guys!!!!

let me know what else

That is the first Iridium Silver I have seen with a blacked out grill. I had not thought much about doing anything with the grill since it matched the color of the car, but I really like it. I think Azn or someone on here may know where to get the die cut vinyl for the job. Obviously, it won't be exactly the same but it would be close.

Hey is the lamin-x tint simply the original tint color? It's not gun metal? It looks quite dark.

Nice, I was thinking of buying lamin-x tint but was deciding between gun metal and the normal tint. If that's normal tint I wonder how much darker gun metal would be. Anyhow, thanks for the info.

i like the color scheme black/silver. Now you need some Rims maybe like black with a polish lip sounds good.

Not sure about the black accents on the wheels....I think you should just go with black rims. Otherwise, looks great.

I like what you did with the front bumper. Was it difficult to put the vinyl on the lower part of the bumper?

Not a fan of the stripes on the side skirts and rims though...looks too busy and over-done IMHO...but then again as you can see I prefer a more clean/simple look

the CF front lip is from DCT Motorsports out of Cali. Very good product, fit really well....

The vinyl was no problem to put on (I have some experince), but if your new to it then I would go to a shop to get it done, shouldnt take them more than 30 min...

I'm debating on wheels right now... thinking of going with 19s for the ride... and I was looking at Euro 63RS wheels... let me know what you guys think/recommend...

i was thinking polish face or do you think I should go black?

I like it, especially the front bumper. Did you add a CF spoiler to the front, or simply wrapped a portion of the front bumper and the middle?

Also:
What color is the Lamin-x on your headlights? Are the taillights Lamin-x or painted?
