I'd have color matched them but thats just me. Not bad I guess just an odd color choice.

sorry but not a fan of the yellow. I think orange, silver, or white would have looked better.

Not the direction I would have gone, but hey, its your ride. Are you happy with the way it came out? If so, rock. If not, redo. Of course, i wouldn't have gone with the wind deflector or the bug shield, either. And I'm not a fan of the Sunburst Orange. Now I'm just nt picking your ride to death. I'll stop. Its yours, you like it, then :

I think I would have body matched as well, it wouldnt have stood out as much as yellow but just cause it doesnt stand out doesnt mean its still not an attention getter. Like everyone else said if your happy - thats all that matters, - if not its only paint

summed it up for me.

i do however love orange on these cars.

i used to be quick to jump to conclusions and talk **** about something i didn't like, but after a while i just realized that like ^^ said it's your ride! i don't like the yellow with the orange, but if you do who cares what i think. i'm just some guy in the internet

that's what's great about cusomizing your car, there's no right or wrong way to do it (as long as it's not half assed of course)

I think its pretty cool just because its different. It doesnt look awful at all. Good job for standing out.

Does not look bad. Honestly IMO polished ones look best.

I don't know of many other colors that might go with orange... Black, silver, orange. I don't like the yellow, but that's me. I really like those rims though

Ur like me..can't color coordinate. Looks better than stock though. I like the bug deflector. Looks like big angry eyebrows over the headlights. Does it actually work? On my commute to work, my windshield becomes a bugsplat graveyard. All my wipers do is smear the carnage. The window louver things are a godsend if ur a smoker.
