I really like it. I wouldn't do yellow or gold calipers, just somethings telling me it would clash. Have you thought about doin the same color green with a black V emblem? and I would tint the side markers and fog lights. And maybe get the black outline for the headlights. I'm assuming this is still a wip, so just giving some suggestions. Just looked at the pic again, one more tiny suggestion, what about, on the front bumper, paint it or wrap it black from the lower grill down like the silver V on here? Ill see if I can find a pic of what im talking about.

I fear you're gonna get some heat for it, but don't worry about it, it's different and in my opinion, pretty badass. Two thumbs up!

Edit: Found it, thanks to shadyLS6. https://ls1tech.com/forums/cadillac-...ate-shady.html

Because it's totally impossible to use cut-and-paste to just insert the pictures into a thread here.

Not quite sure how it would look but maybe lime green for the calipers? Add a little pop.

I didn't like it at first but it's growing on me the more I look at it.

Or make the amber fogs yellow along with the calipers would really give it nice contrast.
