Get an exhuast on there! Mold a front bumper, it'll make a world of difference. And lastly, is it just me or is the paint off a little bit?
haha definetly the direction i am going in.. I think i am going to pick up the SVT exhaust from wa2tuff soon and as far as the front bumper goes i have a little something in mind for that 
Yeah the color on the bumper and skirts is a bit off.. I wanted to go cheap so i painted them myself with spray cans and never got around to clearing them. I think i might go ahead and shoot some clear coat before this winter though
You painted it your self?? what kinda paint did you use?? Looks killer!! LOVE IT. How about a close up of the paint job on that bumper. Looks dang good from a can! NICE JOB!

I think what makes it look a little off is because that valence area just around the mesh isn't the flat-black it is on a stock SVT bumper. If that was black it would offset the silver color of the mesh and look so hot IMO

thanks guys! over the winter i will be working on customizing the front so hopefully if all turns out well i'll have some more to post.. as far as the back bumper insert goes i agree that it looks better black. i was tossing around ideas at the time just curious of what it would look like the same color... i appreciate all of the feedback on it
