Heres the old

Looks go bro. As you know I've got the A-pillars and halo done. Got a rear diffuser sitting around waiting to paint. I would recommend a full length black SLP spoiler next. I'm contemplating the same. Some good deals at Carlisle.

Looks awesome man nice work

I hear you, not for everyone. Probably why I haven't convinced myself to do it yet. Not sure if I'm totally sold on the look.

Anyway great job!!
