I know some people who also like the S4 taillights better. Personally, I like the S5 exterior better altogether. I like the moldings, rear taillights, clear front blinkers/marker lights and different front bumper.

I do still like the S4 taillights, just kinda dated looking!

Yeah, I like the clear bumper lights, color matched trim, etc.... of the S5, but the round tail lights just look to me

Here is a pic I made showing the different stages, for comparison.

I know the angles arent perfect, but they are really close. The new paint is noticiably brighter and looks slighty oranger to me.

Looks really good man! I like it! :thumbs-up:

One question though... Why didn't you take out all the lights and pieces before you had it sprayed? That always makes for a cleaner paint job.
