Great paint job but honestly not my cup of tea. It feels like something you would see on those old 98 civics. But whatever floats your boat my friend.

Paint the grill trim black, maybe satin or flat. Keep the rings and emblem as they are.

It's a nice blue and you did a good job painting it but there is a little too much color for a black car.

it might look good on a usb but not on a black car. wat color blue is that? workmanship is good just doesn't go well with the car itself.

Would not have done that.

You have officially crossed over to the dark side and have taken a perfomance luxury sedan and turned it into rice mobile.

All mods are subjective. If you saw the rims I'm getting maybe you would understand the color scheme. We have a crazy car (416 hp) we might as well make it crazier. Oh eell like I said last time ill keep it to myself.

There is a fine line between tasteful and tacky and only the owner of the car knows where that is at. Everything else is just someone's opinion, have fun with it, its yours.

He probably took them down since they were getting bashed. OP - no hard feelings, but an all fairness you did ask for opinions!

If there isn't one already, I think there should be a "Read me first, before posting pictures for commments."

When you post pictures, you need to have a thick skin. There will be a whole spectrum of comments, good and bad, so be prepared.

No worries, keep it if you still like it, repaint it if necessary.

Thanks for the input. Yeah I was mad but oh well I took it for what its worth. I did take them down but thinking about the opinions I have to admit the grill is just boom. I have an idea about that and will re paint after b.o.s. Thanks for the input should I put up what it looks like in the day? I think they look a bit better.... well the way the light hits it.
