I am leaning toward the last one, but I think I will need to paint the roof as well.

The third definitely looks the best.

You can get a roll of vinyl to get the roof done.
There are some links on this forum to a site that sells roof vinyl.

I like the last one too. Are you doing the roof black as well? That might look good.

I would just leave the hood be and color-match the grille. Would probably look a lot cleaner that way. Less contrasting colors and would be much more uniform. That is just my suggestion. Just thought I'd throw another idea out there rather than just following along.

ok here i go.
I like the second one; with some eyelidz it'll look mean.

But I also like the 3rd one like most guys here.
I agree it looks like a cop car. I mean seriously, some strobes and blue and red lights in the rear and front windshield and you have my permission to be pulling over Civics and Accords just to tell em: " you know why Im stopping you?, cuz' i want you to appreciate my car" hehehe.

But in all seriousness, although the idea of getting a .99 cent toy badge at Walmart to enhance your "cop-car" Façade I am totally digging M-Rod's idea. I mean it looks clean and very few mods time and money. The only downside is that as much as I'm digging that grille i cant just swap it on my 9Gts. :'(

However is someone is bold enough to make that for me Im willing to mod my bumper and pay of course . . .

Not a fan of the lights you shoulda did on the trunk what you did on hood and left lights red.

Or Just swap those lights for the Ralliart ones

I will post new pictures soon. I changed up the way the spoiler is painted and there is a little silver still on the side of the trunk lid. I wanted GTS or Ralliart tails but could not find any and then you also have to add the trunk spoiler for then to flow right. I am looking for some GTS/Ralliart heads.
