Did the entire thing myself. Purchased paint from Express Paint which is a two can process not including clearcoat. The match is actually pretty good. I did run out of base coat and will have to recoat hood trim when it gets in.

I don't know about the lower vents, but the grille and lights are awesome!!! WDP on the grille and vents, plain white on the lights?

i don't know...i'm not really feeling it. I mean the cleared headlights look awesome. But there's just no contrast. I think if you got cleared side markers and got the black chrome emblems, it'll really set the car off. Just my 
You did, however, do a really good job w/ the paint match on the grills! Good job

I think that looks sweet, painting the housing white was a great idea I like it, but I think it'll look hot if the grille's were black. Here's a quick chop of how it would look.

i can't make up my mind about it. part of me likes it, part of me thinks the monochromatic grille makes the car look like a camry or an accord. i like that photoshop of the grilles with only the white center strip. the white headlamp housings look good, but i would have painted the chrome around the fogs/projector white as well.
all in all, its def a unique tl tho!

I'm still thinking about blacking out the top and bottom part of the center grill.
The white highlights the funky grill pattern on the top part. I will leave the rest white though.
I was thinking about the reflectors but then I thought the chrome would add some sort of accent along with the wheels and the emblems.
