Looks good! You should consider refreshing the lower grille. Either replace it (more expensive, will fade in a few years) or spray paint it (cheaper)

Yeah, they are actually supposed to be black! Though most are not...

Easy to remove and spray paint with a high gloss black. OR, like I did, I just masked everything off and painted in on the car.

Thanks guys! yeah I'll definitely remove the grille and paint it. Also planning on adding the black kidneys, matte, but who isn't...haha. I'm most excited for the full coilover setup and roll cage. A year or two down the road I will lease a new car, at which point this will become a dedicated track car. Also trying to decide between an LSD or a drop-in mini spool just for drift days, and keep the doff open for track days. With really sticky tires, and no added power to the stock motor, i'm not sure I would notice the difference.

When I was driving an E63 AMG on the track, I definitely noticed the LSD working, which we had spec'd in Germany, but that had 690 lb-ft...

Every spray painted lower grille I've seen has chipped super easily. I went with (gasp) plastidip and it came out quite well.
