Looks good. Love your tag being a transplanted Gator myself. I have been using Mike the Powerdercoater for some stuff. He is great to work with. Look forward to seeing the calipers as I am thinking of same.

Did you or are you going to paint the lower 3 fake grilles in the front bumper to match the grill?

Wow!!! You're a modding fool! I like the drop. I like the headlights. I like the grill though I think I'd experiment a little with the emblem. I like the wheels a lot! I like the taillights tinted. Did the third brake light get tinted as well? Everything flows real nice together. It looks like you really had an idea of what you were after. Nice!

gloss looks so much better with tinted windows and everything else on the car shiny.
