Is it me or does the front bumper not match the rest of the car? not feeling the banner either. Get some amber corners and get rid of the banner and the car would be super clean! Love the lip too.

The lip looks alot lighter than the rest of the car, maybe it's the lighting? Clean car man, I would consider losing the windshield banner though, looks kinda tacky. Otherwise clean dude

Actually, it appears that the front bumper doesnt match the rest of the car. Look again. The skirts and lip do match, its the bumper that throws you off.

the bumper is too dark relative to the body and the front chin is too light relative to the body.

in all honesty i know the front bumper looks off.. not much i can do. it all depends how you look at it. in some light it looks fine and in others it looks bad. i just decided to live with it.

I would say lose the banners man. It looks cheap with them (front and back). The clears are ok but I would opt. for the OEM amber.

Otherwise it looks great.

I agree, it almost looks like they used a different color silver. Go back and tell them to fix that ****.

Beyond restating what everyone else has, i think the car looks tight. Nice tint, nice drop. The car overall is tastefully done.

I would leave the car as is from this point on.

The color variance may be attributed to the lighting at the moment. i notice these types of problems, particularly when taking photos at dusk.

The color of the bumper is alot darker then the rest of the car. That just shows you what sun does to you car.
