Very nice car. The silver carbon looks nice especially with the exterior you got. Id go with the Tips like hidfanatic said. Also just wondering it might be the pic but is the rear bumper lip a different color, pic 5 (paint match).

Thanks guy, to answer some of your questions..

Secksee - Yes that is a LX-Mode Grill, painted flat black...

Uz07Lex- No its not a different color.. that was just the test fit... Before we actually installed it I washed the car. So yes, in that picture it is a different color but in reality its matched!!!

Brociouz- LED Turn signals?? I was thinking that too.. but I was also thinking of the JDM sidemarker... What are your thoughts on that?

RickJames- I've got JP Neck Pads in the rear seats.. didn't want to overkill it though cuz I don't consider my car VIP.
