I am very impressed with the look of that red on red. I say finish it up and roll with it. That really sets your car apart from others. But on a side note I am with the others lose the stickers. You put a lot of work into your car to make it look and perform great. Those stickers really rice out your car. Just my .02

Looks good. One question. Do the lights lose their brightness at night? Just wondering because the reflectors on the inside are covered. I still think it is a sharp look. I have to vote for removing the stickers.

Deus i was thinking about doing that too with the reflectors, but i asked the inspection guys (more than one place) and they said that it would cause them to negate the inspection until it was fixed. ARG!! This ofcourse is for the state of Texas. You have to have 30% of amber or clear type reflector up front. ad the same for the rear 30%. I remember reading this somewhere too but cant remember where... Just be careful when covering your side markers.. My friend had some reflective vinyl tht he put on just for inspection, and then took it right off afterward...just a thought..
