Coming along nicely sir! It's definitely in the realm of "yours" and not "stock" anymore, but still very tasteful. I hope mine turns out this good when I do all the things on my wish list! Are you planning on doing anything else in the way of stripes or anything to the outside?

Also, is that an Agent 47 Grill and if so, how do you like it? Been thinking about getting one of those.

Yup, A47, and I love the grille. I don't plan on doing anything else to the car, except maybe a chin spoiler if I ever find one that I like.

I think anything else is going to push me towards the 'overdone' look and I don't want that. Once I blackout the faux scoops, everything should tie together nicely on the front end, and the louvers on the hood tie into the SHR louvers. I'm not a fan of stripes, or body colored mirrors like some have suggested, so maybe a chin spoiler and a tri-bar grille emblem and I'm done.

Phenomenal doesn't even come close to how the machine looks now John - and I concur with your feelings about stopping once you blackout those sections in the hood. I just can't get over how incredible the thing looks

Thanks Dave! Now I'm off to AutoZone to buy some washer hose so I can relocate my windshield squirters. Damnit, another mod.

Hey, thanks for the compliments.
I actually like the black mirrors. One of the things I like about my car is that from the side profile, there's a body line that starts on the fender near the headlight, and runs all the way back and lifts off of the ducktail. I don't want the colored mirrors pulling your eye off of that bodyline, and don't want to draw any more attention to the cars big 'ears'.

I thought about that, but it wouldn't do any good. They open up on the sides where a normal CAI is located, but w/ the WMS in the middle and the tray sealing off air from the sides, then I'd get no additional benefit. You can see where they dump the air in the lower pic. I opened up the vents on the blue hood.
