What do you guys think?

I took some pics with my cell phone. I have a carbon lip on the way but other than that...this is what my car looks like now.




Any ideas or critiques are welcome, I'm shameless so it doesn't matter how you say it...lol.

Looks good.. I would have gone with a different color other than yellow (doesnt really go with the flow of the car?). Dont shoot me though, last time I gave my opinion on this forum it got pretty ugly..

LOLLL.... I've been thinking about it honestly.... I just hear a lot of compliments on the yellow calipers but feel that perhaps the calipers did flow better when they were silver. I dunno...I like how they look up close that's for sure...so clean and yellow...LMAO.

I like your shameless humor!

+1 on the yellow calipers. I think red calipers would blend in better since they match your brake lights or reinstall your stock yellow side markers so they have something to match with. But if like them then that's all that matters.

Other than that, it look great! Everything flows nicely looks perfectly placed!

Very nice, how about CF diffuser ? if you will install a CF lip then it will match better with a DF.

I think the brakes should have been done in the lambo green like marc chaparone did on his car, it would look shweet.

If I were to change the brake color it would go back to the oem silver. So it's between the silver and the yellow.

i like the yellow calipers but i think your car would look better with charcoal or black rims... that color combo on pewter/ gray /or white cars looks great to me

Lower it, and put a lip on it. That's all I would do.

Not when you live in PR. Shipping alone is like $120. I'll get it sooner or later though.

The problem isn't the weight, it's the size. It's an oversized item and they will rape me. I've tried with USPS and while it used to be pretty cheap it's not anymore.
