Thanks all !!!!

Wheels are AME Cirlcar Spec-M's in 19x8.5 +35 and 19x9.5 +30.... unfortunately they only come in high disk which is why the lips are the same front to back. The wheels are painted in the SBC black which looks like black chrome. I'm running Dunlop Sport Maxx in 225-35 and 235-35.

The grille color looks like it is a bit off from the rest of the car (is it, or is it the angle of the picture?) and I'm not really feeling the darker red on the center of the bottom part of the front bumper.

Aside from that... I am loving it. Do you have any more pics of the CF trim that is on the radio?

The grill is a little off.....MR is one of the hardest colors to match since it's a red base coat, then a pearl mid, then clear. The color is dictated by amount of mid, thickness, spray pattern, etc....

In actuality, the entire front bumper is CF. We candied a small part of the bumper....center lip and around the fogs, then painted the rest body color. Reason? The bumper itself came damaged and that's all we could expose since we had a lot of bodywork to do.







Yes....both my cars are in Team Emotion....
