No problem, and I know what you mean. I show my car too and the front is the first part people see.

Thought I'd throw this picture up as well, as I took it at the same time as the other front repaint pictures I initially posted. Shows the new MagnaFlow system that I installed about a month ago. Four inch slant-cut tips that come with the system fill the rear bumper exhaust cutouts nicely.

I kinda liked the silver trim ring around the fog lights. But I like how everything else turned out. Especially the exhaust tips. Nice job eliminating all traces of any front licence plate. I don't like front licence plates. They ruin the look of the front of the car. And are a huge waste (in my opinion). I wish we didn't have to have them here in Ontario.

Nice work man!

I like black on cars, but usually not all of it. I like the factory look anyway so I don't think I'm going to get carried away. The one thing I have thought about is having the factory rims powder coated like a gloss charcoal or graphite color. Darker than the factory polished, but not straight black. Something mid tone. That's not anytime soon though.

Yeah I hate front license plates. Glad we don't have them in Michigan. My 06 was an Ohio car so I had to live with the front bracket for a while. The dealership used a 3M kit to patch the rivet holes in the bumper. Looks much better without it.

Thanks again everyone!
