The black rims are a little bland for my taste but the second pic is sweet.

the black rims need a chrome lip to offset all the black.

Gotta go with this one, ..., kinda, ...
Needs the rear valance to hide the exhaust at least.
But the 4 outlet design is not nearly as good lookin' as the dual outlet CME style, ...

Too much black with the black wheels. Chromed or polished aluminum would look better. Was that second photo taken from Baytown or LaPorte?? Saw the bridge in the background.

Man, it looks just like the suspension bridge that connects LaPorte, TX to Baytown, TX over the Houston ship channel.

You have black rims on the left side and polished rims on the right side?!?!

J/k, that would be the shiznite though.

The black rims work, they just need a polished lip for an offset.

Do the rear CME valence and blend it into the body. That'll flow SO good.

Outside of that, she looks great.

Definately different. Not all that bad but the black is a little too much. Chrome-lip it.

Black wheels and exhaust are both eyesores IMO
