The only person engaging in a pissing match is you. You don't seem to like some of our replys to your redundant posting asking the o.p. not to paint the headlights.

It was pointless to mention not to paint the headlights. It was pointless to make this post.
I actually worked in a tint shop for a bit and some of the things people would have us do on the side were tints and paints to headlights and taillights. I'm sure you're familiar with smoking taillights. Well, people do the same to headlights. We cautioned against it, but you do what people give you money for. The last one I remember was an 09 GTR, but the common customers were Mustang guys

But I digress. Not meaning to be a detractor to this guy's thread. I am not opposed to painting the headlight housings, just cautioning against the covers, which people actually do have smoked and tinted.

I think the car looks pretty good as it sits, and the OP has all the freedom in the world to do what he wants to with it.

For all you nutswingers saying he can do what he wants.... Pretty sure everyone who posts pics of their car on car forums, wants some sort of feedback. Obviously you want POSITIVE feedback, but you gotta take the NEGATIVE also....

Welcome to the Internet............ Next!

The pink lug nuts are red rays lugnuts just that with the sun the anodized red gets pinkish looking just like with every anodized red lugs. weather strip looks good in person and im not going to spend 150+ on a splitter which will rip off in a matter of a month no matter how careful i drive here plus there is no way im going to drill a hole on my bumper.

+1. Seriously people are stupid to say don't offer negative feedback if they are posting on a public forum looking for opinions about their mods.

To the OP: Bumper looks great, I agree that the HD lip doesn't look right with that bumper/the color of your car. I also agree that repainting your grill to match the gloss of your car would look better as well. But looks like you are going in the right direction with the car.

Oh ya and HAAHHAA to the nub telling you not to paint your headlights hahahahah
