I'll be honest:

I believe if the wheels are fully black, or white would look nicer. And the front lip isn't F-Sport, and the grill is stock. More pictures please, clean car.

I agree with the wheels, but they were done for free through a friend, so i didn't have much input on the color, the front lip is the closest to an F-Sport version of a front lip for my model year, I am aware that it is called the Front Lip GFX kit, but I think its cooler to call it F-Sport. And as for the Grille, i never said it wasn't stock. But it is painted obsidian, that is not the stock color. The stock color is a matte grey.

I actually like the wheels, this goes to show we really do have some good looking stocks. Like rash said that is the stock grille but I like the color scheme on it, and that is a GFX front lip. Looking good fellow floridian

Oops, my bad about the grill, I thought I read F-Sport Grill, too much stuff starting with the letter F in your list.

Looks clean overall. You should black out your valve stems too. Is that LS460 yours too?

Overall the car looks nice. I'm not a fan of white wheels. Especially with all the brake dust these cars are known for. You really can't start making up names for the front lip. It's called a GFX lip. Stands for Ground Effects.

I knew someone was gonna comment on the 460 haha it's my Mother's... She went through her mid life crisis and decided she wanted a sportier car... So she settled for the LS460 Sport lol
