Looks great!

Are the lights spray tint or film tint? I've been wanting to smoke mine on my black Journey.

Sweet look! How did you paint the cross grill?

Everything was professionally painted by a good friend of mine. :) Working in the car business pays off sometimes...

Looks really good. What size are the rims, and did they come painted or did you paint them.

thanks

Looks really good. please take a picture from the side of your car and also a front picture "lower then you had". The front looks really great with out the chrome. Have you thought of painting the fog/hid area red also?

Great mods..........

My thoughts exactly! Great job. I am also curious about the upcoming cat back exhaust. Please keep us updated.

Sorry to disagree with everyone but the chrome grill adds a touch of class. When it's painted it looks just like a Caravan.

For the most part I like it. I like the grill the most. The smoked lights are a nice touch too. I don't think I would like to have the fronts smoked. Kinda like to see at night. Now the tails look really good. I don't care for the black rims. Never have really liked them. Every now and then I will see one I like. It is your car and you do what you like.

It all depends on the look you're trying to achieve. In this case, the smoked headlights, painted grille and black rims all work well together.

Leaving the grille and headlights "stock" also looks good, but, IMO, it is a bit unbalanced towards the front of the vehicle. The stock configuration really benefits from chrome wheels - it brings balance back to the shininess. When I bought mine, there was an R/T on the lot with chrome rims and a chrome gas filler lid. It looked VERY nice! Its the kind of look I hope to eventually achieve with my SXT when I get around to replacing the rims.

And what of the catback and Magnaflows? I really like that my Journey is one of the quietest in its class - so say the car mags. And do comment on the wheel size, please. Looks like 17's but can't be sure.

Ya, I like it, but it reminded me of the old caravan my wife used to own a while in the 90s!

Nice added touches! I like the painted grill, gives it a sportier appearance.

One Tip for the future: Consider "blacking out" the rear mufflers hear the exhaust tips. Use a High-Temp Engine black spray paint.
