thanks. the color is a bit off, but it passes the 10 foot test. the vinyl (Oracal 615) would probably be a perfect match for the 06 crystal white.
i think chrome and white clash horribly, obviously more so than slightly mismatched vinyl, so the results are just fine by me. also, in darker lighting conditions, the lines of the hood flow well all the way past the grille and along the bumper - the look of the car is changed entirely.

those are custom vinyl too. black, im sure, is easier to match.
only problem with doing vinyl is that you are left with some permanent scratches on the headlight from the razor blade along the bottom edge of the vinyl. but its only noticeable if you are looking for it.
i tried to vinyl the rear reflectors, but there is some embossed text on the reflector that shows through the vinyl. the only way to make it body color would be to remove the lens, sand it, and paint it.
