Very nice. Driving dust, I would imagine that it gets dirty if you look at it too hard.

I was planning on doing the brake lights and flushmounting them, but I held off. I like the red, it compliments the calipers and provides contrast. I have the front lights blackedout and ready to install. I was very lucky, my grandparents left me some money for school and a new auto.
