From what I can see in your pics the headlights look very nice too! Cleared turning signal FTW! M 19s are dope, nice choice. Are you running spacers on the wheels?

Your driveway doesn't look that steep, drop that bad boy and angle it up the driveway, you'll be fine.

The tailights for our color is a challenge. I don't like the look of the tinted tails and I'm not sure how LS painted tails would look on a Sedan (seen them on a Coupe and they look great).

Overall your recent changes are noiiice. I'd look into figuring out how to do a mild drop (H- Techs, Z springs, or Eibach Pro Kit) and make it up your driveway, it will really change the look of your car. Or just get bags and raise it up when you need too.

Last thing....its Lakeshore Slate homie, not Lakeshore blue. No biggie.
Ye I was considering black at one point but decided to use the color to the fullest advantage with both the grill and headlights. I wish you could illustrate which back section to dremel out, the fitment is almost perfect, the very bottom bar sticks out a couple of centimeters. Ye 5mm spacers on the front's just to clear the suspension arm. The driveway entrance is too narrow to angle in there, it's just not gonna go in without scraping every single time, I'm still thinking of ways to give it the slightest drop, possibly g35 coupe springs.

The painted tails look exactly like my tinted tails, maybe a bit more glossy cause of the clearcoat...haha thanks for the correction, I always call it blue....when I just got my car I introduced it as Slateshore blue, whatever the hell that is....

Here are some pics that illustrate the back section in the middle of the grill that I suggested you dremel out:

Ye, I was thinking about what you were talking about dremeling, I was thinking fitment wise cause I mentioned the bottom bar sticks out a couple centimeters then understood those pieces, i did mention that to my guy, but since he didn't bondo it and used actually pieces of plastic bars from another grill and welded it together, i forgot how he explained to me why those back pieces couldn't be taken off or if any consequences of what else would be shown with them off, but I did mention it to him...and it does look good w/o it, but it sticked out a bit more on yours prob cause of the color contrast, on mine it's not as bad cause its more blended it...

Edit: I just looked at my pics again, those bars don't stick out at all, def cause of the color contrast, but of course on a close-up would look cleaner without it...

^True, yours isn't as visible as mine since its a darker color. Mine stuck out like a sore thumb.
