So I did a bit of photoshop work this weekend. I'm not okay with my grill anymore because I want every bit of my car to be black or white. So here are a few different versions I'm considering. There is also a shot of the wheels done in an interesting way with black and white, as I'm a bit worried about the wheels being solid black. Let me know what you guys think.

You should update the first pic with #s, so we can put in order what we like most to least and do it quickly. I like top right first then bottom right 2nd and top left least probably.
 
Yeah, blacked out grille with white emblem looks good. As for wheels, I don't know that I can get behind all white. Especially with brake dust, I think they might just end up looking dirty most of the time.
 
i like either the first or the bottom right.. not so crazy about the wheels tho.. maybe aftermaket with a either a black lip and white spokes or white lip n black spokes...
 
I like all except top left

As for wheels, not feeling it. How about a white time attack strip?

I like the bottom right grill the best, I just don't want to copy Aiya. It does look the cleanest though. As for the wheels, that 1 series is how I'm planning on doing it... I just had the idea to do white spokes, not going to do that anymore though.
 
Bottom right. I've said this before about other members feeling design "crossover" but do you run into Aiya a lot on the road? Is that going to be an issue you think? =) To break up all the whiteness on the front you could paint the area under the lower bumper opening black like this.......

Time attack wheels will be good, but I'd PS those as well first. The painted lowers and well lips give the body a lot of mass and black wheels look smaller...it may look imbalanced.
 
Haha that's pretty cool, now the real question is who started it and which 2 are copy cats?? :p

All I know is that my FX was the first one in this parking lot, and I was the second one to own my condo in this entire complex. So they are copying me... haha

I don't think I'll ever run into Aiya as I'm in SD, but I don't want people to think I'm hijacking their uniqueness haha. I guess it's just a grill :tongue (2): I do need to Photoshop the wheels as well though, you're right. I hope I don't decide on 22s, cuz that'll open another can of worms.
 
Thanks for the feedback everybody! Okay, so I have decided to go with the grill below. The next set of photos differ in the roof rack, rocker panel trim, and wheels. I like how a time attack rim looks on my FX, what do you guys think?

I'm usually a fan of the sport rails, but for your theme #2 works well. Go GTRs or 22"s! You live in Cali, I wish I could run 22"s year round. Maybe you can trade your rails with someone locally plus cash too.
