Rep Power: 0 The exhaust that I have is R&D Thermal catback, and yeah it sounds great on the car. The lights are not painted white just the angle of the shot I guess. Thanks for all the good comments I really appreciate it. Next for me is some oem fogs with amber laminex to match the corner lights soon I hope.

Rep Power: 270 First off, thumbs up on the nice paint job.
Secondly, I'm being as honest as I want, because it is my opinion. I really like the white, however the paint job looks good in the pictures - but for a few things. I'm sure you've seen the overspray into the wheel wells, the spray onto the plastic covers of the front looks excessive. Also, the window trims on the front windshield probably could have been sprayed as well. Leaving the hood black kinda makes it look cheaper - but is a nice contrast, however some may view it as rice. Personally I think I would have shaved the trunk to give it a cleaner look with the white.
If this were my beauty, I would:
a) black out the headlights
b) possibly get a sedan grill
b) finish the paintjob - shave the trunk (H and keyhole), windshield trim white ( paint sedan grill to match if acquired)
c) get a cf hood
d) get a lip kit (remove mudguards)
e) fog lights
But alas it isn't my car, I only wish it was

Though it doesn't look it from the pictures - or my perspective.. Maybe I'm seeing things or it is slightly dark/dirty. 
In any event, I am corrected - sorryOn second look, since you seem to want a black/white theme.. I would have thought to keep the top half of your car (so pillars +roof) black, but too late now.
In any event, car still looks nice. But sounds like it is just a start - can't wait to see a finalized (if ever :lol) version

Rep Power: 0 Yeah they painted my mud flaps but who cares! When I get my lip kit they wont be there anymore. To keep with the black and white theme I plan on keeping my lip kit black.

Rep Power: 0 Well the car is painted completely under the mud flaps so dont worry everybody. As far as the overspray I have to take the car back to my friend and have it all removed, i just needed my car back because it was suppose to rain this weekend. I dont like riding my motorcycle in the rain. Well thanks again for all the comments,concerns,and opinions. By the way the hood is hella dirty so thats why you tell its cf.
