Looks good! Way to upgrade the front. FYI...I have the same color car and bought the gloss black grills last week....and returned them the next day. Didn't flow well on Titanium Silver, but then again I don't have the front lip. It seems like the one color car that, unless you've got alot of other black going on, looks odd. But the matte black looks good, I used to have those.

Actually it looks fine to me. It's because the body color of his car plus the chrome. It makes the gap look much larger than it is. It's the same for alpine whites with chrome grilles.

if you look at the hood line between the passenger side kidney and the passenger side headlight and compare it to the same area on the driver side you can see it looks lower on the driver side......theres no chrome in that area.

The front lip spoiler is glossy so I was thinking the gloss black windows and grill would flow with the car better. Did you take any pics with the gloss black?

Thanks! Trying not to go too overboard. The only cosmetics I want to do now are Gloss Black Grill and window trim as well as LCI tinted tails.
