Nice...did it come painted or did you find a shop to match the paint? Also, how low does that lip hang from the ground? And yeah, rims and a drop would be nice x2. Maybe some sideskirts?

Paint match is quite off, and it definetly needs the sides and rear because the front sits too low right now

The first picture looks fine, but in the 3rd and 4th picture, the color does look off. Overall, the new front looks good. Do you plan to add sides and a rear too?

Damn! You guys must have really good eyes because I still can't see the difference. Exactly what aspect are you looking at when making your conclusion? I am not saying you are wrong I just would like to know how to look at these things in case I decide to do similar modifications. But I suppose in person it's 100 times easier to see any difference.

look at the last picture. look at the where the bumper and hood meet for best reference point. the bumper is a darker shade of white. its damn hard to color match ppw.

It is much easier to see imperfections in person. I'm not even 100% sure that his paint is off. It can easily be a reflection, shadow or maybe a fresh polish on the nose, that is throwing the color off. As far as trying to determine if the paint is off, it's kind of hard to explain. If you look at the front nose piece, it just has a look as if it was originally a darker color, then it was painted the PPW, but like I said, I could be wrong.
