You keep making it look sweeter and sweeter... rotors look great, and the exhaust job was a nice touch.
I had a Stillen exhaust on my '04, but haven't upgraded the '11 as yet. Not sure if I am going to do anything else, but the way you got the front lip and rear valance carbon fiber wrapped is making me want to do that... and wrap the shiny window trim.

I'd start w/ the window trim, it's an easy DIY and a good way to get the hang of working w/ vinyl. I think you'd be happy w/ the transformation as it's pretty dramatic. The front spoiler was carbon hydro dipped, maybe there's a place near you that does it, if so I'd check it out, pretty amazing results.

I think you need a project to get you interested in how the car looks under the hood. This is as good as any.
So... you do it up first, and I'll follow your lead. I've been considering this idea for a while now. Personally, I'm thinking going a shade lighter than the matching black plastics. Gunmetal is an appealing idea. Something matching my radiator and oil caps.

For that matter, you'll probably be wanting to paint your K&N Typhoon mid-pipes.I'm planning on the R2C Intake kit this summer, in Black Nickle... which is kind of a dark chrome look. I like that type of finish. All those colors in that space: gunmetal, black chrome, titanium, etc.

Yes! Exactly. For that matter, you'll probably be wanting to paint your K&N Typhoon mid-pipes.

I'm already working out some engine bay ideas, so your mission should be accomplished soon, lol.

They are black. And the face of the mufflers is curved outward (convex). It's not flat, like all the aftermarket mufflers. IDK why that is. I suspect there's either an acoustic or manufacturing reason for it.

I think I probably will, I love the look from straight back but from the sides the stainless steel welded area and the smaller pipe is more pronounced. I think I'll actually black out everything except the very end of the tip where it comes back straight (about the last 4-5").
