Looks really nice! I love the whole facelift thing and the new grille. Do all of your LEDs work fine?

I'd consider doing the mirrors and headlights just to go all the way. I'd also consider doing all chrome in matte black since you've started that trend on the front and rear.

If you're keen on running a front plate, you should consider the bracket that I had made for my car:

Ride looks good, I agree with you on the priceiness of the headlights. You maybe able to find the missors for a decent price, I paid around $800.00 for mine. It's unfortunate that NY, NJ, etc. have the front plate requirement, because it takes so much away from the car. Overall the car looks great, just take your time and do a lot of research and I'm sure you'll some reasonably priced headlights.

The link I gave you is the solution for the front plate. He can custom make it for mesh grilles as well.

Why not do the front star in matte black? Either that or maybe do a flat emblem?

The module can drop 2.5"s all around and lowers and raises with a touch of a button or u can select it by 1/10 of an inch at a time

I think you should consider modifying your address to a state which does not have a front license plate requirement.

Beautiful, not feeling the grill black. But I'm sure once the mirrors and headlights done it will look perfect
