Lot of negative/neutral responses in this thread. Not much constructive criticism. And painting plastic parts that were never intended to be painted doesn't count. The shop refused to warranty it for a reason.

I'm open to suggestions. In hindsight, I probably should have bought a body kit before taking it in to be painted.

I had mine painted with zero issue, as have many many many others on this forum.
You've got constructive criticism, but here's a short synopsis:
- Paint the lower trim to match
- Needs to be dropped (at least 1.5-2 in IMO)
- Needs wheels (19's would be nice)
- Needs body-kit of some kind (Front bumper minimum)
- Trim, handles and mirror bases need to be painted
another couple of suggestions:
- fix your headlights
- paint headlight bezels black
- paint grill black
- outlandish colors/styles should have performance to back them up

Yes... because they're lazy or not good painters.

I probably would have got less hate if I'd gone with one of the 17 (approx) factory shades on the black-grey-white colorless spectrum.
Painted trim is done! Pics to come
