Like the look of that as well, nicely done. That first pic in the water.... looked like you only had a one-inch clearance to the lip. Second picture clarified that misconception though

Pic in the water is a nice idea and if you get a chance, do it again when it is not rainning and sunny out to make reflection better. Calm water is the key....

Cool pics, but is it me or was your painter not able to match the rest of the car? It's a totally different shade.

That's the first thing I thought of when I looked at the front bumper.

Looking good. But does anyone thinks the vortech intercooler will look better if its a little bit wider? Wonder if its size has to do with maintaining intake pressure...

the only thing I really noticed right off is how much lighter the bumper is than the rest of the car. I mean, how can you mess that thing up when its totally completely wrong? I bet you could just eyeball the first dang layer and clear that mistake up.

So did you step into a deep puddle when you got out of the car?

metallic paints are super hard to match. most factory colors have what is called a varience chart. meaning you can get paint mixed in 4-5 different shades of the same color code. they have these because when the factory paints a car there is a little residue of the previous paint color still in the lines. you have to take the car to the place you are getting the paint mixed and have them hold up the varience chart right next to the car. or you just have to paint the whole car. hope that helps if you decide to repaint.

btw- metallics can lay differently depending on temp too, and will look completely different if the same color sealer was not used. looking again at your pics at different angles it does come very close to matching. i'm not picking anything apart as it is a beautiful car, just helping so it doesn't happen again to ya.
