the colors do seem a little off as others have mentioned, but I really like the whole idea. The top of the car looks ver nice.
I love just about any method or mod to make a car more unique. Keep us updated

looks ok, imo if you had gotten a cf trunk and hood it would've looked better. or at least painted the whole hood and trunk

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

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

ahhh i see what you mean, but i think you should've still extended over the hood lines so the top corners of the grill meet up with the painted line. or paint the sides of the grill surrounds red.
