are the chrome strips going back in? I think it would be a good finishing touch!

wayne - it seems very "rounded" compared to the normal venom bar...maybe my eyes are just tired...lol

Very well done mate. It has changed the car for sure. All your missing is a nice polished intercooler to top of the look.
Make sure you take good care of the new paint job.
