Default New pics need opinions

I just got the front bumper repainted and i spent 3 hours yesterday waxing it so I figured I'd take some new pics. Let me know honest opinions of what you think. Also need opinions on what to make better and how to make it faster! I just purchased cme tips and now I'm waiting to buy to buy the rear valence. I also want to get the rs sport package/ground effects so if anyone can help me find the front 2 skirts and the 2 side skirts that would help.
(dont mind the date i put new batteries in my camera and it says 5 years ago)

Looks nice. . . I don't know about the hood too much though. Yet, it does not look bad.

I think the hood looks good. You need to accent it though. It's a mean hood...so you need some mean complimentary mods (whistler mod, tint, lower it, and maybe some new wheels like chrome Z06s would look sweet)

Please don't take it the wrong way, but IMO the front looks like a dodge truck with a billet grille. Also looks high off the ground. Just my 2 cents.

I like how it looks. The only thing would be improving the stance. I bet that if you lowered 1" it will suddenly flow better.

That hood is still odd. Maybe if the car was very low in the front with slicks on the back. . . . . . . .

I agree. At least if it was really low.

I think you should send the CME to me

No I would do only the CME and not ground effects, but drop it down a little.
