The yellow looks a little out of place IMO, but to each his own I guess

I am not a fan....at least remove the yellow tint on the headlights. I would prefer if you got rid of the matt paint job as well. Rims are ok. In the end its what you like that matters, its just my opinion

Sorry, but I think that looks terrible. What influenced you to do these modifications?

Not feeling the yellow headlights. Is that finger prints on the trunk from someone touching it before it was dry?

Personally I think your car would look better with CF where you have the matte or do it all matte.

Your front lip also looks weird in the center where the 2 sides are supposed to clip together.

If it makes you happy though, then don't change a thing!

I'll have to agree with many people here on the yellow headlights. but other than that, it is original. you did say more to come so hit up more pics later.

yellow off the headlights and it will look good and sporty. The headlights are just too strong!
