I havent decided lol. I am usually the last person to like body kits and what I would call "rice" but in person it looks pretty good! The back just needs fixed and I have thought of painting it aswell.

Nice car! Glad that you got rid of the fogs and skull stuff. I would seriously lose the ground fx. If you like ground fx seriously consider a CME and a 6litereater front splitter, then paint the sides and CME.

Nice car, never seen those exhaust tips before. Let me know if you have any questions about the gauges.

Thank you, Steve.
