Yes sir. Your right. The cme kinda sticks out to much.
The guy that put it on never done one before. And I never seem one in person. So we kinda guessed how it goes.
Till that day I seen one with OEM CME. It Looked way better than mine
Hopefully I can get that fixed soon

Thanks for the complements guys.
I'll post pics when it's lowered.
Also I'm gonna put the line back on the lip.
I don't know if you guys notice it.
That red stripe is for bikes
I bought it for my bike but I never put it on. So I put it on my car to see how it was gonna look.

I wax thinking to paint the hood scope red or pin stripe as well. I'm Not sure yet.

I am not a fan of black wheels, but, other than that, she looks great. I agree with others, black looks great, but it's a bear to keep clean. Believe me, I know .... it's my wife's favorite color. Good luck with the future mods.

I love that autodim feature, it comes on my H3 and I always thought about how great it would be to have in my SS since mine is lowered and sucks *** when there's a truck behind me at a light.
