    Looks good. I like the bottom "lip" being painted. Everyone just vinyl wraps or paints just the area around the license plate.

    Is that charcoal metallic? It looks too gray to be black. Love it either way and I think it looks great.

    The color is listed as "Shadow Black Metallic". I didn't know what to expect as there was no sample color to look at

    Maybe photoshop out the license plate? Not sure why, but everyone seems to do it when posting, identity theft concerns?

    Looks great.

    You need to put some caps or "something" over the empty holes on the bottom of your license plate frame.

    I had Some on it on my last car but 1 got broke taking the tags off. I just put tags on car today, I have been running temp tags. I will get something the next time I go out. I really appreciate all the feedback. If I don't reply right back it is because I only get on my computer 3 or 4 times a week. My typing stinks:mad:

    Looks really, really good. Nice job doing everything straight. I swear that looks like it came from the factory. (y)

    Plastdip would work too and you can peel it off if you don't want it.

    It looks great! Definitely makes it more aggressive and not so of a "happy go lucky" car
