    Thank you so much. I spent an hour trying to figure out how to have the pictures show and just gave up.

    Lots of red, lol.

    I'd break up the front bumper by re-painting that lower valance, and the same with the rear if it's not done yet. Would look even better with some tint and blacked/smoked headlights/corners/tails.

    Either way you go, still looks super clean.

    that's how the car was painted when it was new from the factory. I could not find a trim color code for the grey trim color, and when I removed the bumpers to be painted by a shop because of the flexible paint they wanted an extra $75 set up fee for the change of paint in their guns and the heat room had to be tied up twice since you can not spray 2 colors at once. you paint one let it dry and then mask it off and paint the second color. you can clear coat both colors at once. turn out to be a very expensive operation it I wanted it done.. time and materials money thing. there are parts of the car I painted my self with spray cans and wet sanded and clear coated. you can not tell unless I pint the areas out on a very sunny day. very steep learning curve to learn to do this. also the front bumper had had a see thru gash about 2x 4 inches which I fixed with nylon mesh bumper bondo and special primer out of a spray can. I am not a body guy. mechanics is my strong talent. but with lots of practice on scrap stuff you can learn to do a decent job. I have very rarely taken my car to a mechanical shop for something to be fixed where something else was screwed up or broken off. an example I use a shop where the let me provide my own oil and filter and I give them $20. I gave them an air filter to put in. when I got the car home one of the clips for the air box was missing. I went back and they could not find it but found one which had not been put on another car and offered me that one. I bought an oem clip from a online dealer for $20 including shipping. Guess I will go back to doing my own oil changes even though I have a bad back. Just saying having something done right I have found nearly impossible in todays world.
