Listen you prepubescent brat, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all. Generally speaking, your posts are full of bigotry and maybe you should give somebody a little respect for being innovative rather than beating a dead horse and being MURDDDAH.

Back to the pictures.

I like what you've done sir, once you get some rims / a few other touches it'll be fire!

I like it man! Very different for sure! Is the whole theme continued to the rear of the car? Some booty shots would be great

Are you considering blacking out the headlights?

I noticed that the A-Spec got painted as well...
Personally I think you should have went with a more flat black... the black, in my opinion, "over-shines" the SSM.
Pretty sweet nonetheless.

Looking good! How did you finish the back? Definately needs some black wheels or something. So mind me ask what that run you?

Slvrac, I really like the car with the painted grill. Obviously, you've got a lot of opinions here...positive and not so positive. You like it-you enjoy it. Don't worry about anything else...or anybody else's viewpoint.

cool idea...looks like a mk5 gti..but i would have had the whole hood done and wider on the bumper..it'd flow better into the roof.

Really? I, like other people that posted in this thread, expressed my opinion (which was negative, meaning that I didn't like it, you feel me?). Did i hurt your feelings with my "no"? Or are you just pissed that I put it so bluntly?

Play nice you guys

The car is looking good, what color was the black you put on, Like Formal Black Pearl/Metallic/Solid, or NightHawk Black Pearl

Also quick question, was there a reason why the black goes to the width of the grille and not all the way along the crease lines?

Here's a quick MS paint view of it with some black lines. that way it would have widened to hood/windshield width, gone up over the roof and down the back.

exactly what I was thinking about painting the whole hood and wider bumpers, but I would have done it more "flat" black I guess then that glossy. Now that black is way more shiny then the SSM
