Yep! It's the lighting. They look different depending on the lighting.

On the stickers I just did what looked best to me. I am also planning on getting new wheels when the tires wear out. Planning on getting some that are more open so the calipers can be seen better. I waited a long time to paint them as I was not sure how burnt copper would look but it really looks good!

Installed the Skipper Rep front lip from Bayson R. I didnt like how much the sides stuck out so I trimmed it down to about half what it was.




Found these Well visors on ebay. Pretty clean for the price ~$70. Not as clean as the Lexus ones, but cant beat that price.

I like the well visors, but eventually took mine off because the plastic they used looks super scratched up when in the sun. Is your like that too?

I think I know what you're talking about, with the type of plastic they use to make these, there is a scratched look that can occur when the sun its hits it. According to their video, these can be basically bent in half, I'll take their word for it haha.

For now it doesn't bother me, but if it does, I'll probably just vinyl wrap them in black.

All finished up, the gloss coat looks insane. So happy with how the product lays down, not bad for a change to the OEM wheels.

I have these Well Visors too and noticed the scratched look in the sun. It doesn't bother me too much for now, and especially for the price! I'm just keeping them on until I get a set of JDM visors.

Turn signal vinyl using this kit. Red for red. The light smoke will go well with grays, and the dark smoke for black.
Easy, just need a spray bottle and a couple drops of shampoo.

Thanks guys, here is a side shot. Debated with the blacked out look but with this finish being super glossy I like the way it flows. Its so glossy in person that it reflects light like crazy and almost looks like candy. This is a really awesome product for anyone wanting to change a car color or wheels. If you aren't familiar with autoflex check out some of the cars done in it. I want to do mine, but may stick with my stock black for a bit since I haven't had the car very long. The wheels are pretty straight forward to do, and can have a professional quality result with the cans done in a few hours and is reversible. The cans just came out and have a graphite type color which IMO is similiar to fsport wheels, so I went with the black. I'll probably change it eventually to a hypershift when those get released.

I'm AWD so I sit a bit higher but I don't think it looks too bad right now since everything is black anyways.
