Too much black imho.

And engine bay looks so messy.

So much wires, and colour co-ordination is terrible.

But other than that its not bad at all.

haha you cant have too much black, and yeah not happy with it at the moment. trying to see what works without painting the rocker cover red again, its too boring

Ah k lol. The lip is from the states. Go to www.JDMshit.com, they have heaps of really high quality polyurethane and carbon fibre lips there if you're willing to get one sent over.
