Maybe some black on the rims just to give it that nice offset.

Looks good. Your paint looks to be in pretty good condition.

If its anything like getting the DRL's out a v6/formy bumper its a huge PITA. It looked like i was a cutter when i finally got them out

But your car looks GREAT! All it needs it black decals instead and black rims and your ride will be GOLDEN!

Screw the decals! Keep the decals off!!!!! It will look soo much cleaner. The black top looks awesome and that's where you want the attention to be. Don't make the decals take away the focus of the rest of the car!!

just take off the door emblems all together!

are you going with the motorsports also or is that pic just a representation that you want black wheels? they'd look great either way.

I would paint the calipers Red with Black Decals or vice versa. Other than that, just take off the Silver Metallic Decals and leave it as is.

Looking good, Jonas. I would suggest taking the emblems off as well, I can't find the picture, but how about painting the top of your spoiler black? If I find the pic I'll let you know. Still no CETA bumper, come on man

I am liking my rims for the time being.. Still have no idea how to get the DRL out to paint them.. Might just get some covers???
