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

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.

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

Thanks for the suggestions. I am taking the car back next week to have the lower trim painted green to match the rest of the car.

I'm with NFSP, a few tweaks and you'll have something unique and special there. Of course I could be exhibiting some colour bias.

In for pics with painted trim, drop and rims.

LOL, hope so.

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.
