I decided to try new 3M film of my GS to make it a bit different from a stock boring look...
You people judge me, I'm still in the middle of my project so I will upload more pictures as it goes...
So for I'm really pleased with an outcome.
P.S. Better quality pics and wrapped in the same style new front bumper lip and 19" MMR HR2 are coming soon.

it is maybe hard to tell at the first glance, but I appreciate the feedback and will post better quality pics as soon as I get the lip installed.

Oh, well... Thanks for the feedback, but the material is high end not to mention it cost $1000 to do... Best part - it looks clean and you can remove it anytime with no hassle.

Hmmm, not sure how I feel about the hood. You should wrap the entire hood to flow with the roof and trunk!

With a drop and wheels it might look really nice. <<< Maybe the complete look your talking about. Lil extreme with the current setup IMO. I really like the grill area though. Did they have gloss and matte finishes?

I like the hood and front grill. I like how it flows with the body lines. I would paint the roof black and take off the stuff on the trunk lid.

I agree wit designo... It will look much better wit the whole hood done! But, that might take away the look of the grill area and that part looks really nice! Again, nice idea!!

It wouldn't match with the grill and look like aftermarket civic hood...
