To be honest if you like it, then thats the important thing. The eyelids were 100% atrocious but I believe everything else is pretty subjective. The blacking out headlamps and painted hood are what I would do. YMMV
Might be blacking out the headlights but the hood, still thinking about it.

Nice! IMO keep the hood, complements the roof at the right angle. Loving the silver-black theme. Great car!

You should make up your mind between using cf and black . Wing and lip are black, rest cf. I think paint matching both the wing, and trunk might make it look way better; in addition losing the canards. But hey that's only my opinion and it's coming from a person who hates CF

I kinda like the outer canards... they are are a bit long, but meh, looks aggressive. You need a wing to keep the look consistent imo.


Edit: Looks awesome with the eyelids removed!! Good job!

BTW, what outer canards are you using? I've gotten the APR front splitter and am looking to add some canards. Can't decide between the Password JDM ones and the APR (only sets that I've found asides from the TRD which look meh). I think I'm liking the APR more, but they are more than a bit expensive for canards... Think they're selling for $350 for a few pieces of CF :/

If you have invested some more time reading about the guy asking about the wing you would notice that I've stated that the wing is CF. No more black in the car except for the roof, that middle black garnish in the bumper was removed too. so the car is basically silver and CF now.

anyways.

I found them on ebay, not sure of the name though. Don't like both since they were small in size and barely give any aggressiveness to the car.

One more for painting the hood and ditching the eye lids....they only look good on lights that are soft or fat to begin with.

Carbon personally only looks good on a black car.

Did kinda like the unpainted vents thou. Not my style but it was better.


My cars are always cleaned up and blacked out.
