I need to clean the car to get up close shots. It is hard to do though because of how whiteout reflects the light. I need to get it on an overcast day. From just looking at it you would think it came on the car when I got it. But if you go up close and snap a pic it looks like it doesn't match in the pic.

The thing is you need to compare the same "brightness" areas to know if it matches. When the sun hits it you get really bight white highlights, some middle whites and some grey areas. It all depends on the angle of the part and how much curve it has.

Does that make sense to anyone other than me lol?

Looks tacky, ugly, and paint doesn't match that well. I'm sorry I'm being honest.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. The look is not everyone's cup of tea but the paint is a near dead match.

Camera's mess with whiteout. I have pictures where my own car stock looks like panels don't match. It is all in lighting and curves and how the reflect.

I can give you the paint but not the kit. It reminds me of those old Hondas http://www.ridelust.com/wp-content/u...r1-500x280.jpg

That is taking it to an extreme. Like comparing a lizard with godzilla. It is a bit more aggressive than say a 5AD but in now way an "shogun kit".

Ok maybe I exaggerated a little bit but still. That front bumper ad on looks pretty tacky.
The rear ad on would be ok without that non-functional vent in the corners.
Side skits are ok; they look very similar to Trd.

IMO not even the 5ad does it on whiteout.

Does the Rear lip extension just cover up the stock bumper or is there some kind of cutting required? Extremely interested in getting this for my Asphalt.

Got it through a friend. I think there are a few vendors on here that sell it. The rear just goes over. No cutting.
