You certainly don't waste time, nice to see all you've done in such short order.
This is turning into an Epic thread
This will be one of those threads where the before and after will be jaw-dropping.

Thank you sir..... Ok so I need a quik poll. I pulled the lower front grill off and am wondering if I should paint the whole thing black or leave the center bar blue? I'm taping it off now so fastest response would be great lol

Also here are a few pics of it with the headlights done.

OMG, what a difference! Suddenly I like your CF hood and full-black grille w/matching Fuji. So much better w/o that windshield sticker.

Oh man, you gotta be doing a happy dance with what that does to the front perspective. Very well done, Twiggs. You even color match your South Dakota tags!

I still think the lower grille, the fog hatch, and the mirror corners need to go back to black, but wow... just wow.

My vote: paint the grid black, and leave the center bar Subby Blue.

While at it, paint the fog assembly grid to match.

Also, it looks like your grille's Fuji is full blue, when really all you want is blue on the face. The sides and inner area inside the Fuji should match the grille.

Agree, the middle bar blue would be nice and the mesh blacked out, it'll break up the sea of black just right IMO. Also agree w/ Johns assessment, looking better w/ each tweak, Great Thread!!
Can't tell from the pics but the fog faux mesh black w/ blue fog rings would be nice (if the rings are already painted that is)

It you mess with his photo, you can see the fog mesh is blue, the rings are black, and his Fuji is full-blue (which is awkward).

Here...

Also I took it for a test drive and the extra power from just the intake manifold and stillen gen 3 is amazingly impressive!!! I figure if the first words out of my mouth were "OH S***!" It's pretty damn good. I could tell a difference through the entire powerband.... Mid range and upper rpm's. So if anyone is on the fence on either of these definitely do it!
