Nice ride Ryan.
Hey, for the Hella lights, did they also smoke the white portion? I can't really tell from the pictures. I was thinking of smoking just the red portion of my LCI LED tail lights but now I'm not sure cause the LED rods look so nice...don't want to dim it down by smoking it.
As for the RDSport diffuser and quad, you should keep them for yourself. Your car will be very unique with those parts and the quad isn't that loud. IMO, their quad wasn't that loud on VT's 545 but he then he removed the resonators. I think yours would be less loud do the I6 instead of a V8. KEEP IT MAN!

I think if you do a light smoke it will look great! The LED rods will be a little less pronounced but you'll still be able to make them out. I'll try to take some night exposures of my tails to give you a better idea of how it will look.As for the RD's... haha, we'll see. It's more money than I want to spend right now. So if I don't do it, I definitely want another forum member to benefit on my behalf.

Sorry, for some reason, I don't know why but I thought they were giving you the exhaust for free. haha
Aren't you at least getting the diffuser for free?

Very nice look!! A (silly question I'm sure) but what is a "trunk finisher"? Never head that term before...perhaps the rear bumper fascia? 
Nevermind - C'sbimmer posted great before and after pics - looks nice!
