    Well this started as a joke amongst me and my friends so I decided to go for it.
    This is a teaser shot for now. Full pics will be posted Tomor. Criticism appreciated

    Looks like you either got overspray on it toward the bottom or needs to be sanded down..either way the gold looks great.

    Gold fascias, Gold GPOs to match, Bronze wheels (Like a Boss), Blue Calipers. A little will go along way.

    Don't over-do it and it will look good... I think.

    But now are you going to get one of those giant ass box spoilers and put it on there?? Make it super scooby.

    i like the color combo. but like tlshelf said dont over do it. subtle things will make it unique and not make it look bad or like there is to much going on.

    Yea actually I banged my bottom fascia awhile back and I never sanded it down. This was a quick mock up with Plastidip to be honest lol. Tomor I will be doing it correctly and I will be doing the wheels and the rear fascia as well. Thanks for the input guys. Keep em coming. You think red calipers would work as well?

    Do the rear fascia in it too, because that flows really well!
    Does removing the spare count as weight reduction?

    No worries, I'm used to it... oddly enough. It was close enough I didn't worry, had to take a double take to even notice, almost over looked it myself.

    OP... why have you not added more pictures yet? GET GOIN MR.!!! I want to see some contrast!

    make sure you get a blue thats really close to the color of your car. when you are trying to do the calipers the same color as your car, you need to try to get as close to a match in color as you possibly can, otherwise it will look stupid.

    You didn't tape off the tires so now you have to spray the tires too. Can't have you looking half-assed now can we??? Do It!
