First off, let me just say: Holy mutherfuckin deep dish.
I see the flares worked well too.

and yes, do the top part. It kinda sticks out too much.

if you paint the top of the grill i suggest painting that little lip above the license plate on the trunk as well.

Looks better, but the black trunk just doesn't flow with the taillights. Maybe if the black stopped even with the bottom of the taillights.

1. HOLY SHIT the flared fenders were worth the deep dish. that's like fking 4+ in. there
2. The flared fenders look a little offset/weird since the rear bumper and rear aspec aren't flared with it.
3. Sweet paint job except you should have blacked out the little hood trim piece.

First of all, very nice job on the fenders and the lip! I bet people don't even notice the fenders at all or don't look at them. they just stare at the wheels the whole time!

I would paint the front top grille and rear grille above license plate.
