Upon inspection of these new pics, you should have left all of that to professionals.
I have bad eyesight, but even I can see the horribly uneven lines. You guys put in a valient effort to try something new though, so kudos.

It d oes look better - the back is pretty bad though. A black spoiler might help, but i would go with all SS.
+1 on leaving stuff like this up to a professional. painting a car yourself is very hard, even if you had the right tools (which i doubt you do judging from the spray can on the ground)

yup, I don't think I do have the right tools at all
nah, we do, sanding, sprays, buffer, pretty much
I think I would need to do something about the rear because that black contrast wayyy too much with the silver and makes it look ugly
however, I do like the black side skirts, that looks very good , and the front bumper is great too, we'll have to trim it again, but we really ran out of light to work with as you can see and it was getting dark

^ I wanted black above gold, makes my car look sharper
but I also am planning on CF hood and CF spoiler, so I think, black would be a better color to actually go with at the moment
I plan to probably do carbon fibre overlay later anyways

much better color scheme. I like the back - not sure what you don't like about it. Def. needs to be "finished", and finished cleanly & well. If the lines are noticable like they are now when you're finished . . .
maybe do the inserts along the roof black, too? like this (stole your pic Jman - tks!)

I purpously lined the tape larger than the actual line I wanted to paint, mostly because I know we're gonna mess up somehow, fortunately we didn't,
so we are going to touch it and finish it so that the lines do stay on the lines, and we need to make it look sharp
and guys, we want to paint the bottom diffuser black, I think it would look good with the spoiler also!

^ yes I am aware, I am thinking of what to do, I might paint the spoiler back to silver altogether, because I seriously don't know how to make it look good, at all!

painting it silver won't cost you another but paint. Lowering is really easy ($150) and then just buy rims down the road.
