Looks Great!!! Just one thing, and it might be the picture, but it really looks like the scoop doesnt match the black coming up the hood. Looks like flat black meets gloss black... Is that right, or just because the scoop had fresh paint? The rear valance looks great, and I wouldnt worry about any rocks bouncing up and hitting the fresh paint, you'll be moving forward and the rocks would have to come from behind you...

Yeah ur right about the scoop not matching. when i painted it at first i thought it was a matte black type paint but to find out it wasnt. Then today when i went to buy the paint for the valance i found out the had an actual matte black paint. So theres a 90% chance ill repaint it to matte black, ill juat wait and see.

Did you paint your taillight mid section too? I always wanted that part to be flat black... I was looking for the OEM peice but I like the smooth peice better I think..
No its a vinyl decal

the reason it turned out shiny is because you used clear coat. i believe they sell a dull coat also if you want to make it look matte.
