Not a fan, even on the R8 I don't like it too much.But you guys seemed to do a very good job so if you like it I say keep it

For the love of God, don't do it. Please. Don't. Really. Don't do it.

This has nothing to do with the installation, because it appears that you have done a great job putting it on. I just think that it's not a good look for this particular car. Then again, I'm not a fan of LED strips around your headlights/foglights either. The first time I saw a car with these I thought the person decorated their cars for Christmas with those Icicle Lights....

TBH, the silver is the only color that can REALLY pull it off imo.

get black stache overlays and paint ur calipers gloss black also. if ur gona go 2-tone, its gota be uniform. not just one black accent out of no where ya know...

so in short, dig it, but u need a bit more black on the outside to make it rweally fit.

Yeah i was definitely not just gonna leave that the only accent thats black on my car...im thinking calipers for sure, and maybe the mustache but maybe something on the hood using extra vinyl? but that might be too ricer-ious

I would but it was a test run because the vinyl was scratched andold, plus we only had enough left over for the one side, so that's why it didnt hit the skirt lol, these are all the pictures I had from when I had the vinyl on.

I know what u mean. I've been trying to save up for new wheels and I think the stillen front fascia would tie it all in.

truerocket, i know this is my opinion and all, but i think it would look much better if you make it look something this, i know i did it in paint and it isn't the best to compare to, but if someone wants to try and photoshop it, be my guest



i think it fills it in much better

cut the vinyl a bit more in the rear, such as it will follow the window line
