IMO it would look much better if the paint was closer to the OEM silver. It would have that mono look. I've been thinking about color matching all my chrome on the front.

Did you just add an extra tip on to the OEM exhaust?

So, is that extra exhaust tip added to OEM?!? That looks almost like IS-F

Also, what did you do to your hood? How did you partition it like that? Or is this a part of a two-tone look where you going to paint middle part black?

Default roof

decided just to go with the pinstriping (took 15 minutes), thought the black on the bonnet mught be too much, but just did the roof!!

it is a standard tip just added to give a double double look. i love the look personally.

cars a bit dirty
