They gave me the max, was about $6500 - $1000 deductible check for $5500, Hood stripe is something different, if it doesnt look good in the end wont be an issue to repaint the hood...

i think the hood stripe would look betta if it went over the edge....where it cuts off seems kinda wierd.

Car looks good.. unsure of the stripe as well. Maybe leave the grill silver. To much black IMO..

One of the best body kits for the GS...TTE lip, l-tuned sides, and L-sportline rear... Nice...

I like your direction, but iffy about the hood stripe. I think you should have painted the roof black, and painted the indent on the rear bumper black too. Gives it a sportier look. The hood stripe just looks a bit random.
