I agree bad paint job. Look at your pictures the paint isnt smooth on the edges and your emblems are placed crooked. Im on my iphone i can zoom in and see it clearly

ooh lol well, the only place the paint isnt smooth i believe is that one spot above the exhaust, that was a fail by me, wasnt like that before. and as for the crooked emblems, idk if its the picture but it didnt seem crooked when i look in person, maybe im just blind haha

the starfire pearl color match for the front emblem is a nice touch. i would go ahead and make the second "L" emblem a starfire as well, even though the black is a nice touch on a lighter colored car. good work. as for the front lip paint job, i can kinda see what others are talking about in terms of the color differentiation. it wouldn't hurt to go back to tell them that they didnt do the job to your satisfaction, as the spotting is quite evident. see if they'll do something about it, if not- find a new paint guy from now on.
