The spray tint isn't as dark as it looks in the pictures. I obviously need to take some high quality pics at ground level. The wheels are MST Motorsport 7.1?or 5.1. I can't remember off the top of my head.
Is that Flat black? I think you really need some sort of lip in the front and maybe a rear valence. If not, the rear needs to be molded to fit the oval tips better or swap the tips for a quad setup. And of course M6 mirrors.
Good job nonetheless.

My biggest gripe IS probably the exhaust fittament. I hope to eventually get the ACS apron and get a front lip that doesn't lower the front end too much due to my driveway. I tried the member on this board for those M6 mirrors but he sold yout. You got the last pair I think. =)
The tip I chose fits the car well(especially flows well with the reverse light shape) but obviously the hole was more for the rounder shape tip. They did have the black chrome oval tip but I just chose the black chrome rectangular tip for when I get the apron. Overall Im very happy.
I also did order the wrong bulbs for the car. The parking amber was only chrome coated and stays on amber. I thought it stayed on superwhite.
Live and learn!

Dang, I wish I still travelled to Seattle every few months like i used to, but stopped last year. I would have loved to swing by to take a look in person. This looks like a labor of LOVE.
