Default Blacked Out My Front

The stock look of the front facia is nice but I thought I could make it a little better. I painted the grille and lower lip semi-gloss black and I layed black vinyl over the side markers. Let me know what you guys think. Ill post better pictures with a real camera when it clears up out here.

Looks awesome man! This is exactly what I had planned for my silverstone but never came around to it yet.. But yea, my concern is the rock chipping on that front piece. someone should make a DIY for this..

The vinyl i used is 3M stuff. The best out there. Its what they use for stripes. It wont chip. It only leaves small dents but I dont drive on the freeway so I dont get the rocks hitting my car. The paint should hold up pretty well. I prepped the whole thing the right way. As for my stroker kit...dont get me started on that. Nothing but bad news. I am having the crank custom made and thats why its taking so long. But honestly I dont think I will ever see the crank. Its 2 months late so far. Its looking like ill just start by seeing how much power I can get out of the 3.5. Or single turbo....

Ya thats pretty much it. I could buy one from GTM but it would be almost double the cost. Im trying to keep it under 5K. Cheaper then turbos and very good power. I would be more then happy with 450whp. Will it be streetable? Depends who you ask...
