Yes the splash guards don't do it for me. The rest of the car looks great before and after.

I like the package. The red stripes on the wheels seem to tie it all together.

Your car looks great. I like the transition of black from the bonnet to the mirrors to the stone guards and the wheels. I'd fix the stone guards as other have indicated - so you have the nice complete red wheel arch. And the red stripes on your wheels really integrates it all... nice job!

Question - how were the stripes put on the wheels? Is that tape or paint? If tape where and whom?

Thanks

Matt

Hood looks good but I agree with a few others that the splash guards aren't right. I think it's the fact they extend all the way to the fender. Looks better to my eye with a space to help differentiate them from the the wheel wells. Not normally a fan of black wheels but I
like the red stripe and think it helps them visually stand out more. They look great against the Guards Red color of the car. Great pics.

I think it looks great. May want to consider carrying the black touches into the rear of the car. Perhaps a touch on the wing.

Is the hood painted or is it vinyl?

Thank you all for the suggestions. The wheels stripes was painted on. The matte black is made from 3M (vinyl) I believed so its just a cover and can easily be removed once I'm bored of it. I do agree with you all regarding the splash guard. I'm gonna see if the guy can cut it down a bit. However, I questioned the function if its not high to prevent chips from happening. I guess worst case, I can just removed the damm thing and put the 3M clears back on for protection. Saving $$ for a possible Turbo or Supercharge kit so no new wheels but multiple spokes would look nice. Just trying to rationale the need for kit since I don't track the car (for now). I guess more power is always better..LOL
