It may look ok but you'd have a fun time deciding where to stop painting since there's no real cutoff line going into the foglight area.

Well I was thinking to go from the end of the top arch to the bottom of the lower end arch. I'll also go in the same direction as the edges of the center grille

Inward? You mean no cutoff going away from the fog light

Ahh the hell with it I'm gonna do it with tape first and see how it looks. Black tape that is

What I meant was that there's no clear line to use as a guide if you're going from the foglight towards the lower grille. It's a smooth area with a smooth transition so to me it would be difficult to decide where to stop the black.

That'd be overdoing it man. Between the badge on the grill, the black painted mid-section on the lip, the yellow fogs, the eyelids, AND the projectors....I think you already have more than enough going on up front. You don't want it to be too busy, ya know?

I likey. Can you make the oppozite side of the fog lights have a straight edge. It looks like it's rounded. My effed up chopped you can see how it's a straight angle that's in the same direction as the middle grille. Sorry if i'm not making any sense

So what if I didn't have the eyelids or the badge there. Then what would it look like

Have you seen the front bumper of the g8 gxp. It looks like there's alot going on there you know
