Looks Good!! You Dont see too many MBM's. Only thing I dislike is Jerseys license plate. Yellow? Maybe you can tint the license plates?

I REALLY like what you've done, very clean and classy. Are you goiing to paint or tint the rear red reflectors? Maybe the OEM bodykit is in the future?

I was thinking about the rear reflectors but I didnt want to over do the whole tinting thing. At the moment the car is staying as is but I would like the front lip only and maybe some splash guards.

I'd like to do that with WDP, but it would either look great, or be total overkill.

Great looking car!
Have you thought about using black vinyl for the window trim instead of the chrome?

A member recently did it to his 4G and it looks SICK as hell. I think it would match your color matching beak/tail/headlights.

Does this mean no RJ kit? I am pretty sure you are not making it or it would be done. disappointing.
