Are you going to paint the rest of the car black to match the new black bits?

no plans to paint the car yet. it will be the last thing I do - in a planned approach it should be the first. I know the colour scheme is not everyones cup of tea but right now it does not offend me.

Looks great, now you just need to paint the car black to match :mrgreen:
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

pfft paint it black, whats wrong with you people? gold+carbon looks sick! keep it that way, and i think you can get away with leaving the lip unpainted, looks tuff :D

to fix them headlights, do what i did, paint the bezel inside with night shades (you could use black, but night shades allows reflection to shine through still) and get some gv eyelids, paint them black and your set.

I have installed the lip properly now. took a lot longer due to the intercooler. I have fixed the ugly lights. they look pretty mean in person. no good for night and probably illegal. sorry for the dark pics I will try and get some good pics during the week.

mmm, i hope you painted the headlight protectors and not the actual headlight there? surely that cant be legal. none the less it looks very aggressive!
