Your front and rear seem a couple shades off of the rest of your car.

Must have been unfortunate lighting

Gregs, thanks again for the advice you previously offered. Though I ended up going a different route, it was very helpful/insightful.

How much would you hate me if I copied you?

Though I have a Brilliant black, so I won't be competing in the whitewater pearl arena

Other people have done it. I considered doing it a while back too but never got around to it. Regardless, I think real mesh + cutting the exhaust shield looks awesome.

Haha just like tilt mentioned others have cut the rear bumper..but I don't think I have seen anyone cut the heat sheild...I look foward to seeing yours (look foward to seeing more modded 8's) no hate coming from me.
