I just noticed the section after the pics...

Hmmm i see MRM lips with a matte black face... seems interesting!

Blackhousing heads/fogs should look good too!

Your car looks great!!

I cannot wait to do the headlights and foglights, scared of doing it, but excited for the final look! Def. looks awesome on MRM.

Your car is in the weird "I'm in middle school and my body is all weird looking" stage by having blacking out and chrome still on your car. I can see what you're going for though and it's going to look BA when you're done

Good luck on the headlights. If you need any guidance I'd shoot mIStaboi a PM or something because he's done a lot of them.

I like your two tone! your car was one of my inspirations to do black roof

I already like the way you are going.

Thinking about the grill surround, not sure where i'm going with the grill yet. Thanks for having faith

Lol that's a dead on way to describe it! i've read the thread on painting, i want to also do a DRL mod, audi like eye brows that im gonna put inside the headlight (people will hate on me for this), at the top of the headlight. I plan on doing some TSIB's that i didn't get done last time i was at the dealer, and im going to have them turn off the stock DRL's. Thank you for the advice!

How about stop color matching EVERYTHING and start doing colors that have contrast?! LMAO I personally think the car came out great, with a more aggressive kit, a lower drop, and better wheels, this car will be fire!
