hmm, i think any lighter makes it look like the grills have lipstick on them

here are two updates:

this one is with a lighter blue

LOL blue lipstick

I actually like the lighter blue - you think its too bright?

Thanks so much for the PS jobs!!!

When it comes time to actually do this, I'll be using OEM grilles, so the slats will be deep and the bezel will have a different shape and there will be a couple of surprises but thank you so much - this has given me confidence to try this

lol, i'm glad you like it, and it was no problem PSin, i enjoy it...

its gonna have color variances in real life anyways when the sun hits it... if the color behaves anything like the roundels i'm thinkin they should look even brighter

overall i like the look too and can only imagine how good it will look in real life in addition to your "surprises"

good luck with your mods and i cant wait to see them


oh and you should definitely go for the HIDs

HIDs aren't happening - sowwy I already received my endurance bulbs... let's just say that color of the fogs will be correct to the body kit that's going on the car But the finished pics probably will not come soon, bc I still have a couple of MAJOR mods I need to figure out how to pay for before I can make it public

Thanks again, man!

PS if you think of some other combo and have some spare time, I will not mind

Can't wait to see the end result Vlad. For the time attack, I'd say keep the wheels gunmetal and add vinyl blue tape. Remove them if you don't like them.
