Default Home Depot lip and diy amber corners *info wanted

Hey i did the home depot lip and the amber corners the other day. My brother thinks that the corners are to yellow. I need you guys to let me know if you think they are too yellow, i think they are just right. also you can comment on the lip if you would like.

dont paint your lights again...theyll get cloudy...it happened to me...just keep them the way they are and put clear coat over them...the home depot lip looks good too, i used that material the first time and it got kinda wavy, but i went to ace hardware and got some different garden edging that was harder, and it looks a lot better.

well the lip was wavy at first so i moved it up a bit on the bumper so more of the material stuck to the bumper, now it has no waves. What kind of other angles did you guys want?? so overall you think it looks good??? btw its the base cover molding from Home Depot and it's not painted, it comes the gloss black color. Its for flooring so go in the flooring section.

hahah thats awesome. diy's are great. i think you should put some more clear coat layers on the corners so they are really really soft and glossy. i'm not a huge fan of the flat paint jobs.. idk. i think the car would look sick if you had the same color but with gloss. actually in a super street i was just looking at there was one of the "back in the day" articles and there was a car with a paint similar to yours but with clear coat on it. looked hella clean and very jdm!!
