Looks nice. I love the blacked out parts. I have had mine taped, untaped, and just seems nothing looks to good on the silver color. Silver is very hard to make look stelthy or cool. At present I have all tim blacked out and my extra emblems blacked out but not put on. I was so tired of Black cars and this one came avaliable I jumped on it even though it was not the Pladium one that I had ordered but I needed a car so I had to settle. Yours looks good makes me wished I had black again. Very clean, very well done car. Great job. Should tint the headlights would make it look good I think.
Have fun, looks great

Did you have your emblems professional painted your body color? or is it vinyl stuck on top of the emblems.

You should powder coat your muffler tips if you really want an aggresive look. I was going to do this to my car but going full black i'm not fan off. However, I am contemplating the vinyl trims and powder coat the exhaust tips. Did you do the vinyl yourself? how hard was it to do this and where to get the material for the trims?

Love your car, but getting rid of that snow-plough lip should be your next mod.

Love the blackout look and agree black tailpipes will look good on your car. If the tips were an easy bolt on/off I would consider getting an extra pair and have them powdercoated black as well!

Yeah I don't understand why the same people that don't like the lip continue to knock it over and over.

Are your headlights smoked out or do they just look dark in that pic?
