Looks nice. The headlight buckets should be black though if the paint was stock.

Is that your cat under the rear?

Yea looks good. Only suggestion would be to paint the mirrors black, that piece around the headlights black and the sail panel black.

headlight buckets and area by the foglights would be black if it wasnt repainted. the top and mirrors were an option to be color matched or black

I admit it looks a little odd with the body matched headlight area but it's not bad at all. Don't be disappointed if your Magnaflow isn't as loud as you had wanted it. I was a little disappointed when my T/A was stock and I put that catback on there. It's pretty quiet until you do other mods. Headers with ORY and a big *** cam makes it pretty damn loud through the Magnaflow!

Don't think that would look good at all.

The car looks nice though and would benifit from a full drop, but the front end was repainted, if not the whole car.
