painted a bunch of things flint mica to sort of match my gunmetal rims and decals also in the first pic you can see my "frosted" tail lights...they're wrapped (yes johnson, i copied you) 
painted the grill and front emblem flint mica and the grill surround starfire pearl:
also repaired the bumper (since people kept saying i need to fill in the holes the front plate holder made:
my custom made intake tube was painted starfire pearl as well:
finished custom aluminum airbox and part of the engine cover also painted flint mica (painter screwed up cause the engine cover i originally wanted starfire pearl):

since the bumper was off, i took the opportunity to upgrade the transmission oil cooler as well...here's the stock one:
here's the new one installed...i used a polished B&M one with 1/2 NPT to 3/8 hose barb fittings. you just have to cut one of the stock hoses shorter and the other one is perfect lenght. i fabbed up my own brackets using alum strips (got them at lowes). i used the stock rubber mounts to help with vibration and fitment. it's just as solid as the stock mounts:
after the bumper goes on, you can see the polished unit from the bottom grill (the upper part is also shown but it's hard to get it in a pic...
also installed custom diffuser i got from s4play (i did slight modifications to fit better on mine):
and yeah...the blue LEDs in the side vent:

was the transmission oil cooler a difficult swap out?

but what i did was cut some 1/2 aluminum strips and secured them to the stock bar...
the 90 degree fittings are tricky to find but they're stocked locally here at one of our vendors...
let me know if you need specific instructions...
