I really like what you did with the burger on the back, the tail tints,and debadging-- it flows really well. Your rear end looks sick (no ****)

Not sure if its the light or camera, but it looks like the rims could use a couple more coats of paint. Seems kinda "spotty" in some places. It could just be me though, besides that everything looks good.

If custom means he painted it himself, then yes!

His front grill he purchaced though, and it sits ontop of the factory grill...

I just actually painted the "mustache" below the front grill from chrome to black and also painted the front emblem...

I left my rear emblem chrome though, i dont like it black on the back... im either leaving it chrome, or taking it off alltogether.

your car has a clean look except for those rims, i think you should just put down the cash to get them powdercoated because they look like you did them yourself(even though you did lol) the spotted blotchiness almost cheapens the car look

IDK, I personally don't think the wheels look bad. Up close it's kinda funny looking but the farther away shots I can't really tell. Was it sort of a gunmetal look you were going for? I'm pretty sure before you said you used black paint but didn't want them solid black so that's why you did it lightly/spotty. Duplicolor has a gunmetal colored wheel paint if that was what you were looking for. I just did mine in the bronze and they turned out really good.

I'm diggin' on your car though. I don't normally like blacked out cars, but yours looks nice and clean. I think it's because your wheels aren't solid black and you left the reverse light white... I really like the eyelids on black coupes too

If you weren't "huge on wheels" you wouldn't have upgraded from stock, much less spray painted them.

what? dude are you serious, have you seen 2.5 stock rims? imagine my car on the stockers.... oem rims aren't that expensive cause the supply is why higher than the demand for them. they are no where close to the price of aftermarket rims. and my rims were pretty scratched up too, not mint at all. i'm not building a showcar, i will only have this car for another year anyways, no way i'm dropping 2k on rims.

Car looks good. I like what you did to the wheels. I would have never thought of doin that to the ones I had on my car. I also like what you did with the Grille. I'm not a big Chrome grille, rims or much of many things on a car person, but the grille looks HOT.

I still say the 'stache needs to go! With your Carriageworks billet grille, black eyelids, smoked tails and all... I think it sticks out even more. As for the rest of your car, it just keeps getting better and better. Seen your car come a long way from the first time I saw in back in August or whatever at Best Buy. Nice job buddy!
