I recently had an idea to do the kit in body color to make it more visible. So I kinda figured out a way to do it, but still need to do a better color matching if I was to make more of these. What do you guys think?

I have been absent for a while working on a more practical product. Had issues with mass producing the strut braces, but should be ok now. Gonna eventually launch all these different products soon and already have an idea about something very cool, but again that'll take some time as it involves electronic parts......
I like the white, being I have an alpine white. I think it might look good if the surround maybe should stay black? Just the honeycomb being color matched

This is interesting, making it colour match the body makes the bumper seem narrower somehow clearly an illusion but great none the less.

Has anyone tried cutting the area out to make it a true vent? I'm dying to have it done along with the fake vents on the front fenders.

Thinking of doing the same. Did you take them out or do it directly on the car?
