Overall, you know I love the build.. Love the Desert Platinum/ Gloss black theme you're rockin w/.. You're doing it well and in logical spots..
I think something needs to be revisited w/ the strategy of the painting of the vents of the hood.. The logic is sound of why you did just the first 2 vents (line wouldn't be straight on the top most vent), but maybe a gradient could be done for the top vent? Because when you look at it from either side, you can see the line going up on one side, but not the other, so that makes it look like a pair of closing quotation marks to me.. (call me a grammar nerd if you want, just my opinion)..
Honestly, I was a fan of the spoiler look for your car.. W/ the large vents in the front from the Karuma Z, and now on the hood, and staggered looking wheels (I know they're the same width), I think a spoiler adds a level of balance to your build (having something interesting to look at in the front as well as the rear (along w/ the diffuser and Ti tips). I think maybe if you had your smooth finished OEM hood, the spoilerless look would have worked, because it was smooth and undisturbed in the rear as well.. But now, it looks like it needs "something". OOOOO.. maybe some tint in the tails.. THAT'd be dope..
Once again.. just my honest opinion.. (I also like the lights how you have them.. Black housings would be too much black in the front, would look like a panda bear)
*****Amazing job on the paint and fitment as usual R1.. Work is top notch.. I don't think people realize how fast you turned a WHOLE car around basically.. From start to photoshoot ready in a week.. That's CRAZY!!! I'll be coming your way when you finish that HUGE group buy w/ my hood.. Decided to not do the trunk.

Im not doing my tails like that because of my new ones I will be getting....those will have the appeal just fine!!!! trust me!! I understand about the hood but from the front on view it looks mean as hell!! Lights I would only do them if Mike would agree to them at clearcorners...highly doubt it because it can cause some issues with lighting etc.
