looks good man, i'm not a fan of the blue or the headlights personally but technically its still good
if i may make a few suggestions that might help you imensely with the judges?

1. muratic acid dip n paint your grille black, it'll blend in so much better, the chrome has got to go on these cars.

2. take off your rear reflector again and paint the entire thing white, chrome strip, black trim and all, your trunk will thank you for it.

3. take off your mirrors and have those sail panels painted white (the panel the mirror is mounted to) so it flows between the car and the mirror, makes a HUGE difference.

4. ditch the stick on crap, those window vent things are nice, i know, they're useful, but with custom paint you've made a point that your car is definately about the show, take off the bargin bin junk. Blackouts are ugly too.

5. if you've got some extra $ this couldn't hurt. paint the wing planes and pedistals the same white as your car, leave the fins black to go along with the white/black deal

6. pick a color in the engine bay, white/black/blue is enough, 3 colors is usually the most you can get away with as far as color scheme and keep it clean.

7. rear bumper gap, it's a quick and easy fix, do a search and hop to it, you cant have that on a white rear-end it sticks out like a sore thumb.
lookin good though man, nice drop, i dig the wheels and overall i dig the paint.

Very nice looking Tour. Personally, to add to the list Speed Demon came up with (btw a very good eye to detail) I'd recommmend a Mirko splitter up front, and perhaps an SVT rear. Your pipe(s) would look much better filling the holes and it will give your car a lower overall stance without actually lowering it. I'd probably keep the SE sideskirts. They just look better without screaming "bodykit!" An example below can be seen.

P.S. Props on some of the shiniest black paint I've ever seen. Oh and plan on getting a lot of BS on the wing.

Originality is keen. I like it, wouldnt of done it myself, but not saying it looks bad. Great job. Like the engine bay, looks clean

I have to agree the chrome grille has to get painted, other than that, wow. The contrasting colors really works. I've never been a fan of large metal wings, but I have gotten used to them and they aren't going away anytime soon, so I reserve comment on it. I really like the paint though, very nice

LMAO @ Grymes. Not a fan of the sharp point on the hood. Please ppl don't use sharp angled lines on a Tour with paint or wheels.
