Nice ride. The rims kick *** (biased opinion, lol). I guarantee you'll find something else to mod, so don't go saying you're done.
I thought I was done last year....

btw I recommend Krylon Fusion for blacking out. No need to sand or prime, and it STICKS to the plastic so you're done faster. If you want to get a gunmetal look, grab a can of Duplicolor Metalcast paint and once you're done with the Krylon Fusion coats, just lightly coat the housing with the Metalcast. Voila, instant gunmetal.

Then a little mono around any remaining gaps (there should be very few) and happy days.

Rep Power: 788 You'll never be done. I've said that a thousand times and finally just keep quiet. There's always gonna be something. I know you want those HID parking lights, but keep that a secret until they're released. shhh.

Rep Power: 0 That is easily the cleanest sedan I have seen. I am in love with your kit. What is you kit anyway? I think ive seen the front lip before but not the side skirts. They look sooooo clean! Not too aggressive. Amazing job
