I want to like it.. but it looks like it's straight out of Need for Speed. Looks like a quality job though.

I think it looks awesome. I wish more people would try fun stuff like this rather than stick to the boring old stock paint. Some people on this forum are way too conservative.

Not for me but looks pretty cool! If only there was something you could do about the amber corners in the headlight

Right? Unless it's white grey or black it's to "race car" .

Yeah, I guess so... I mean, it really does look like a pro job installing, it's just way not my bag personally.

Looks great. I have felt the need for a color change too. Maybe add some black overlays on the headlights over the amber? I think they are like $30 too

wow, the amount of time that went into that. I cant believe the before and after. I would have never thought. Great job. Id like to see your wheels with more gloss black though. I think its pretty cool. How long did it take to wrap it?

They said it be 3 days, but I planned a vacation the same week, so I let them keep it for 5. So he took extra time on it. Dude was awesome. Very meticulous about corners, seems, and everything.

here's an idea... since you're going for a really aggressive look, consider a 1m bumper. After, finish off the matte red all around the car. And lastly, get the wheels painted silver to give some contrast. Just my 2 cents.

and black emblems instead of red lol. Ok I'll shut up now.
