Few updates-cdc panel, smoked lights, black pillars

Just wanted to throw an update out there. Got a cdc decklid panel on ebay brand new in box for about $100. Got the taillight tint from American Muscle. I took off the old taillight trim from moss too; ill prolly go with the new MMD taillight surrounds. Plus I've been looking for a GT bumper already painted, but I'm not having any luck so far. If anyone has one in mineral gray let me know! I blacked the pillars on the front bumper with plastidip; removed the bumper and masked it off. Gave it 4 coats and came out prime. Here are the pictures:

I had the tail light trim too, but after a while there were small cracks in it
so i took it off.

Front end is a little busy for my taste, maybe it's just that extra pony on the license plate filler. Back looks nice. Have you considerd just cutting you current bumper if you want to go duals instead of getting the GT piece? I always thought the V6 bumper cut looked real good.

I think with the headlights you have put on, it is extremely busy with the fogs in the grille. But, as long as you like it, that's all that matters.

Ive been considering a billet grille with centered fogs behind it. I know about the busy-ness thats for sure!
