that looks great. So is that semi-gloss or gloss that you powdercoated with.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that has a hard time taking good cell phone pics!

It was getting dark quickly.

Thanks guys! I am glad you all like it. I too was worried that the blacked out grill would hide the opening and iconic shape of the nose, but this looks excellent! I am more than pleased and would recommend gloss black powdercoat with a clear over it. It looks nice and professional and will wear well. I will drive the car tomorrow and get some pics from the front at a distance and hopefully manage some better pics with my phone!

Here are a few shots outside in the wild! I think it looks great! I love the effect and I think it cleans the front opening up! Just my opinion!

I think it looks great! I've got the satin wrap film to do the grilles, thinking I'll also do the side strakes as well, or I may go ahead and get carbon fibre.
