Looks very "ricey" to me, but then again I'm more of a purist in my preferences. Maybe I'm just getting too old...
Certainly not meaning to offend anyone. Just throwing a little humor at it.

I'm loving this look!!!

I'd have preferred putting the flat emblem on though. Nonetheless its still a sick car. The yellow stripes looks surprisingly good too.
Just my 2cents.

If your brake calipers are painted yellow I feel the rims but if not I say paint over the yellow stripe on the rims or paint ur calipers yellow also.

HMS painted the tails.

im not sure about the head light paint im afraid it might look cheesy.
i darkened the mirror turn signals.

the brake calipers are yellow also. the next set of wheels wont have the yellow stripe.

First and foremost, Good job parking! I always hug the curb when I get a chance. The car looks well done. You mentioned you were going to fix the gap between the bumper and the hood once you get a new grill but the gap is on the sides. How will a different bumper fix that gap on the sides of it? Or maybe its just the angle. I'm just trying to be nit-picky because the car is done well.

their work is subperb. i believe they deal with alot of insurance stuff too. they're pretty badass and they've got some nice rides too. they pull up a vehicle options report and it lists all the options that are on your vehicle its pretty cool. just give them a call. ask for mark jr tell him i sent ya. they're very fair about their prcing and will compete with other shops prices too. but if you're being unreasonable with the price they'll try to work with you. the quality of work is awesome. no drips runs dirt specks nothing.

Isn't the little indentation on the passenger-side of the lip supposed to have the "BRABUS" logo? Or did the shop just paint over it?
