I'm loving the kit. I just hope you are planning on boosting that car to atleast 300whp. I would have had the T's all filled in and painted some parts black. Make sure you get some spacers or the right offset of wheels in the rear when you buy some, soon I hope.

Very agressive and demanding.

+2 on the boost. You are gonna get hurrassed because of how your car looks. I did. You need to back it up with some power. Your i4 so it is more turbo friendly. Get wheels and drop it turbo. Call it a day after that.

you should TOALLY paint the center of the front flat black (audi-style) it would look SOOO sinister!!

+1000

Just the plastic that would cover the actual bumper and perhaps the inner perimeter of the whole trapezoidal shape. It would provide great contrast and add a new element of agressiveness as well as centralizing the focal point of the front end, and match your factory flat black colored center rear diffuser found on the factory 2007 rear bumper cover. Keeps the styling theme balanced (front to rear). Not to mention coordinate with your carbon fiber hood.

Ooooh, a carbon fiber overlay for the center bumper section would REALLY match the hood as well as give it the dark color contrast. nice. I think i just got a chub.

lol or you could have posted up a pic of my bodykit on another car, cuz all of those have the centerpiece painted. I know how it looks, and it looks okay, but I think I like mine better, especially with the CF hood not painted in the center. Any more on the front and it might look overdone.

Yes perhaps. I still would like to see a photoshop at least of the front center carbon fibered out or colored flat black (or even gloss black).

Either way I still think it looks great. Good job man. Just watch out for rocks! :3_winkthu

lol yeah man I had an entire thread devoted to that idea vs this idea before I got it painted. Everyone doesn't always agree, but for the most part people liked the one I went with better, as did I which is why I got it. Now CF on the front might look nice,but I would still want to see what it looks like.

I think flat black is not the right color. It's too dull and obviously (even tho the photochop was done nicely) the picture doesn't have the right lighting effects.

I really think if that section was carbon fiber in texture with a evenly matched clear coat to the hood (and the right reflective properties), it would work. Otherwise, bleh.

You know, after looking at it for like the 16th time, I realize that IF the center was CF, then of course the currently black area around the fog lights would have to match with CF as well. THAT would be pimp.

However some may say overdone. But I think the only thing overdone was the amount of MONEY involved to implement all that carbon fiber!

I'm not really feeling it. It looks like a mitsubishi and i dont like the GT wing that high. Also whats up w/ the silver "carbon fiber" on the inside?

you know when i saw this color in person, i wasnt impressed... i liked the darker colors (black pearl, carbon grey, blue) on the 2007's because of the aggressive body style look..
but with this body kit and c.f. work.. ITS ****IN HAWTTT!

Just leave unpainted! Lokks like its going to turn out nicely. The grill area reminds me of a Mitsu grill. You should save for some black Buddy Club rims. That would look killer!!!!!

Wheres your chrome gas pedal? And why did you choose this color. Not that its bad looking. Just curious.
