Wheels look fine to me... better than stock. My wheels get flamed a lot as well... to each his own.

Car looks good, engine bay looks real clean.

i got a better fix for that, i took that little foam padding stuff slp sends you with your lid to put in the back of the box to make it seal completely, well i cut about a inch of that stuff and set it on top of my lid where it would hit ( i did this before i ever shut my hood so i wouldnt scratch the hood or lid) but anyways i put it where it would hit the lid and clost my hood, then opened it back up and it stuck to my hood, when the hood is open it is not noticeable at all and it keeps the lid clean looking.... just an idea instead of that hidious comp cams sticker so outta place...

but your car looks great, those stripes work a lot better then your others and the wheels im not a fan of but they are not horrible... just one more thing you can do that is free.... DO THE WIRE MOD!!! it is worth it, makes the engine bay look 30x cleaner!!!

Ive been a huge fan of the deep dish y2k wheels since they came out, would almost look like ccw sp505s, but for like 1500 with tires.

what color is that?

car looks nice and clean, but i agree about the !sticker mod, maybe a thin strip of foam that isnt quite so noticable.

Save up for a set of Fikse FM/5's, that would look killer on your car.
