Moved to Show & Shine because there's no "How To" to this thread.

meh. the blackout on the front grill is a nice touch

hood protector doesn't look good, or those silly side vent stick on's, and finnally the fake Vortext generator stick on's


you should get a carbon fiber hood from RRM and do a custom paint job with black down the center, it would look bad *** along with the blacked out grill and front fender

Quick suggestion? Stay away from autozone accessories. It makes your car look cheap. That includes the cheap vortex generator, stick on hand brake, and specially the wheel cover. I think everyone here will agree with me.

Oh, the hood protector looks bad too... it takes away from the front grill. I'm guessing you are new at this? We all made those sort of mistakes when we 1st started. Anyone who knows about custom cars can tell when ur parts come from Autozone or places like it, mainly because everyone has it on their older cars. Save the money and add accessories that are real. Like REAL carbon fiber parts that look good and cut weight.

I didnt mean to offend him. If you want to make it unique or custom, spending 40 bucks at autozone isnt the way to go. The front bumper looks awesome though.
