I tend to prefer more subtle looks, but to each his own! plus I'm an old man.

Looks like you decided on a theme and stuck with it! Did you think about getting rid of that chrome on the side molding?

I also prefer to keep my car pretty stock, with the exception of a black grill and and nice wheels. I'm only 31 but i'm already starting to get out of the tuner looking cars with the black hoods and black wheels. Black rims never really appealed to me - but thats just my taste.

If you want some opinions I can tell you that the lip looks a little over done and too thick. It does not line up with the vents on the side which makes it look a little less professional than what it should. The red looks a little faded, maybe a good wax can get that shine back? Also, the shiny grill looks odd with what looks to be a flat black hood... maybe wax that puppy up to get the glossy look on the hood as well?

Overall it looks aggressive. Can't tell if the side moulding still has its chrome strip or if that's just the light catching it. Not a fan of the black mirrors or the additions to the bumper. Is that a custom lip? The vent placement could be cleaner IMO.

It sure is bold and I'm sure it turns heads on the streets!

the hood is vinyl wrapped so it cant be waxed and I agree the side chrome strip should be wrapped to match the theme. The front lip is also overdone and the vents need some attention. I like the CF grille. Is that factory red? or did you paint that? It looks off.
