** UPDATE **

So i got my rear insert painted Gloss Black today. I wasnt sure if i should do gloss black or flat black so i went with gloss. It pretty much cost me nothing. I liked it in the pictures but in person it needs to grow on me some more. It definitly looks sporty and goes with my black/white theme. Pictures will be posted in a few days when i get time

I like the dark or black lower valence, but it obviously only
works on a lighter colored car.

Car should be lowered on nice wheels to pull the sporty look off.
Nice exhaust tips wouldn't hurt, either. I also think it will look
great with the dark roof.

You guys are funny... asking on the internet, photoshopping and
trying vinyl sections.

I just see it in my head and do stuff my own way.
Nothing says "committed" quite like getting out the paint gun

I have more steps to go before it really hits the full potential.
