Almost Done: Constructive criticism welcome.

Here is simply a picture of what my car looks like as of now. I'm 95 percent done with the exterior appearance, in my opinion. I just want to lightly tint the tail lights and call it a day. But if any of you have any ideas that I may be missing, let me know what you think! Thanks.

You may not be able to tell as the picture is bad, but I have a carbon fiber front grille, and the C6 wheels are "Black Chrome." Some pictures show that better than others.

Looks good but I would suggest
1) leaving the side mirrors the way they are
2) Remove side molding
3) Paint calipers
4) Good detail and tire shine

I have always hated those rims on all f-bodys. I would take the molding off. Other than those two things, it looks like you did a good job.

Why is everyone saying paint the mirrors? It looks great the way it is. I think the whole car looks very clean. Awesome job.

Thanks all for the replies! Don't worry, I don't take everything personal. I like getting ideas and then think about them.

1) I like the mirros black the way they are. The fact that the windows are tinted with the black sail panel it works with my blue/black theme.
2)Maybe a Sunoco style cowl hood -- This is what I really want and may be the last thing I do.
3)I'm getting a big brake upgrade kit soon, and the calipers will be powder coated black when this is done.
4)I'm going to tint the rear tails and 3rd spoiler light to match everything else.

I need to get more pics, but here are a few more for those that requested:
