if u look at the inside part of an orange peel it looks all rough ya know? paint jobs that come from the factory of EVERY company except for like bentleys and lambos have the orange peel. its just due to the clear coat not being sanded to what it could be. a perfect award winning paint job involves using extremely fine sandpaper to get the orange peel off during the final stages of painting the car. its hard to tell a car has it though unless you see it in a lot of light. if u look at some cars youll see what i mean.

i didnt paint the mirrors becasue i bought a carbon fiber hood, i am planing a silver/black/carbon fiber theme.

i already bought black projectors, carbon fiber tails and a RS upper grill, and a carbon fiber hood. i am buying some TenzoR mean-6 rims in gunmetal tomorrow.
i think it will come together nicely

Looks good, playa. Now you need to paint the mirrors, unless you plan on replacing them. . .
