Looks great! The small black accents really make it stand out.

that looks really good. I almost bought those AG's for my BMW but bought a different brand (identical design) instead. How much do the 18x8s weigh?

That looks classy. Is that tint over the reflector or painted? I did a dark tint over that and DRLs, looks wicked.
Gotta say, that lip really needs side skirts and rear thingies to go along, but so far the car is looking great. I do feel like the other black trim needs to match the hot rod black, though. Like the lip and rear "diffuser" area. |

Looks really nice! I like the front lip and the wheels look great on there.

Thanks again guys for all the compliments and suggestions. I am now looking into getting an exhaust and tinting the tail lights after christmas. Here is some more answers for you guys. Also scrubbed my lip the yesterday, but only scratched the bottom a little.
@2point0 The side markers are tinted heavily. I sprayed on 4 coats to make them almost blacked out. I am thinking about getting the clear JDM ones. @jeebus The rims are heavy at 23lbs. @garf I have not, I wanna see that white on rims on a black one.

Saw you were in the tri cities in the Knoxville post. I grew up in Kingsport. Love the black on white look. I'll have to look you up when I'm in town seeing the rents. White FRS is due any day now. Would like to do a black top and mirrors with white beat sonic fin. Holler if your down here for the dragon.

Did you paint the spoiler and fender vents yourself? What brand paint did you use?
Looks awesome. One of the best imo. How much did the wheels cost? |

Looks great! How did you paint the black strip on the side vent? Does it come away from the rest of the vent or did you just have to mask everything up?

Hey, guys got a lot of questions about the fender trim and spoiler. I had both pieces, well 3 really painted at a local body shop. They have been family friends for years and mostly repair higher end vehicles. They used Dupont Hot Rod Black to paint the parts. We popped out the whole piece of fender trim including the fake vent looking crap. Taped it up and painted just the trim piece that used to be chrome. They also let me use their rack to put my lip on and I tinted my side markers there as well. Only charged me $150 bucks.
