New wheels/tires and trim.

looks good. now black out all chrome, black lugnuts, and make the chrome around the bowties red.

I like it , almost like a factory option. Call it redline trim or something. only thing I would add is a matching red pinstripe outlining the grille like a vw golf gti

That is exactly what I was going for... OEM trim option look and hoped I didn't go overboard.

Nobody noticed the fog lights I installed?

Plan to blackout the window chrome... anyone know where I can find "Dark Chrome" like you find on some wheels now a days?

Plastidip for window trim.

Not a fan of the pin stripe. Needs to be demolded and you will be set.

Wow, I have to see how trimming the bow tie in red would look??? Interesting!

Since everyone is sharing opinions on this I will add mine. Likes: red bowties on wheels, chrome lug nuts, red pinstripe on doors, noticed the calipers right off & the limited amount of red works without being overpowering. Not sure of: red bordered bowties front & back - look at how wide that chrome is, would be a very wide red which wouldn't necessarily go with your other slim red lines already used. I believe the stock bowties have a slim flat around the edge of the raised center, consider pin striping or painting that area red to go with your other styling. Should do: gloss black vinyl wrap on window trim so it blends to the windows.

I don't advocate the complete Murdered Out look is because I just don't care for it - it's overused & just not enough contrast to the look.

Good look & continued success with your mods. BTW, a 3/4 drop would look great too.

Thanks for the advice... I like the gloss vinyl wrap on the trim, a must do. I like the 3/4 drop too...best advice on how to do?

I'd like to see pictures again after you black out the trim and before you take away the red pinstripe (if indeed you do). There may just be one too many colors going on now, and removing the chrome would let the red do its job better.

Please post your cost and time-at-shop experience with the vinyl wrap on the trim. I plan to do that also in the spring and want to gather as much data as I can first.
