That painted emblem and grill combo is awesome. Great looking car Steve. Love the drop as well.

Any plans on giving the headlights the clear?

Yeah I'm considering it. I wouldn't replace the diffuser with a clear one though. Just take it out completely.

Yeah that’s how i did it and i think its the best looking way to clear em. Not a fan of the diffusers.

Just noticed the CT Exhaust on there as well, lookin sharp.

2 coats of primer 2 coats of flat black rustoleum (sp?) paint.

I need to repaint the emblem. The paint was too think and my fingerprints actually show up on it.

I might try a gloss finish and see how that looks.

Looks great man .. when painting the grill, is it necessary to also apply clear coat after the primer and paint?

How do you like the Conti's? I'm going to have to be in the market soon, and yesterdays look at Tire Rack's reviews of both the Pirelli's and the Pilot Sport A/S's didn't give me a warm and fuzzy for either ... although I did see some comments talking about how noisy the Conti's were. Comments?

They are slightly louder when it comes to road noise. But they don't squeal around corners like the stock tires.
