Looks great!

One thing I'd recommend though, get some flat/matte black paint, and black out the front of the radiator support/latch area that shows through the grille. Sticks out like a sore thumb on bright/light colored cars like yellow, GO, red and of course white. Compare:

I thought about that, But wouldnt I have to take the bumper off to paint it? Not really my thing. I had it done at the dealer :P

No I havent, I like the way the rear of my car looks. I like the wing and i have a painted panel between my taillights.

You can do it without pulling the bumper if you're careful taping/masking the surrounding areas.

as far as the heat extractors in the hood, what I do with my trufiber hood that has those is when I wash it I use painters tape to cover them, haven't had it out in the rain yet with the hood, but if I can most likely use painters tape to cover them.

Looks good too!
