I didn't do the headlights myself; I had a friend do it for me. Did a way better job than I probably could have considering he's experienced with that sort of thing

I'm sorta torn...there's some things I don't like, but I think what I don't like is that none of this flows completely yet, and when it's done it will look much better. Some ideas I had were previously stated, but here it goes:
-gloss black emblems
-wheels -->black center, keep the lip chrome
-black grill frame
-black out lights and fogs
that should pull it all together, nice to see some originality

this is turning into quite a build counting on my original plans were to keep it nearly stock lol. i do like it and i dont at the same time...i feel like the hood should be all black maybe the grill insert too, and the trunk lid all black too with a cf spoiler. get those wheels powder coated and u should be set....thats just my 2cents
other then that...looking good

Thank you
The wheels should 'make' the car. 
Being someone who personally has more aggressive tastes, I love the hood and don't find this "ricey" in the least bit.
I, personally, think what would look good:
-Darken the emblems (but it could just be the flash/lighting making your emblems look lighter since you said they are black chrome)
-Get some black face wheels (but I don't know how I feel about the MRM lip... I guess that's just having to be brave and doing it if you really want it)
-Drop her moar!!
-The blacked out headlights and fogs look fabulous on our colour:
-Black out the chrome around your windows...
Idk, just a few ideas to play with. I love what you're doing with it

Your car looks great!!
I cannot wait to do the headlights and foglights, scared of doing it, but excited for the final look! Def. looks awesome on MRM.

That came out fantastic. I agree with you the wheels somewhat 'stand out' but painting them won't hurt 
Nice rims btw, i regret having sold mine!
No. That looks straight up retarded & ricey, on any car. You cannot replicate the pattern properly, and it is noticeable.
Paint black if you must follow with a 'theme'.
