I think it looks great! I love the color and the spoiler looks really nice on it!

Too bad you didn't get the mirrors painted body color while the spoiler was getting painted, I think that would have made the car look even better!

Whistler mod the headlights, get the black turn signals, different grill and she'll be done! That stance looks killer !

put a Sunoco hood on it, to match the spoiler. Right now it looks kind of heavy on the rear without something up front to balance it.
