Had some black added to the car. Basically I wanted from the bottom of the window to the other window to be all black (excluding my vortex and spoiler)

Let me know what you think.

I don't want to be so quick to judge, but as it is, not feeling it at all. I'd paint the inside of the trunk jamb, the VG, and the trunk lip black to make it flow better.

I'm not hating and it's your money and your car, but I think that kinda paint scheme only looks good on raced out cars with full decals and logos, and on a street car its ehhhh. the before pic looked dope.

I'm sure it looks good in person but the flash is bringing out all of the bad things. Badly faded trim, non matching trunk jam, paint swirling. Clean her up and post new pics when you can!

Also, I would highly advise painting the VG and trunk black. You can do it with a spray can and it will look 100x better.

Yea It is bringing out some bad spots and yea its very dirty. No new pics for a while because we are scheduled for snow the next 3 days.

The trim isnt faded, just **** from the paint shop that whipes right off. I just picked up the car 15 mins before taking them

not being a hater but this is definitely NOT appealing at all....if anything its making the car look like a cheap honda. you've got some nice parts on there just not the rims and paint scheme...

If you do the top completely black including the VG it would look good. Too much going on it's like you cant make up your mind. It just doesnt flow with the car.
