I'd like to do this as well, just lack the faith in my prep and application skills. GL

Not bad flip, those mirrors look like they came out pretty good. Not sure about the blue accents on the grill though, maybe w/ a couple more blue accents somewhere else (calipers perhaps) to balance it out

Oops didn't notice the blue tail emblems, I think I'd leave those black, a bit too much going on w/ three colors IMO.

Tks even my neighbor said the same thing about those mirror, My next purchase will be the akebono caliper not the sumo wrestler lol (I will paint them blue) because I hate the non-sport one and they make noise lol. I dont know why they didnt come with better sport caliper.

The reason why I added the blue was because I painted some parts of the engine cover blue too

I wouldn't PD the front bumper, the rock chips will just **** you off. Get a lip/spoiler. Trust me, I debated it too.. my rear bumper has the lower section PD'd and its holding up well.

I thought about PD but ended up using trim paint on mine. I love how it came out. Trim paint was $10 a can, I used almost 2 cans for the rear valance, the front grilles and the middle section of my front lip.
