without the gfx for sure!!! also fix the exhaust tips, and consider killing the sticker too, with all that done, and some lowering sprins, it will look flawless!

kill the body kit for the win! seriously man, it looks freakin' amazing without the body kit. And if you're obsessed with being different from everyone else, then get an aftermarket hood or something.
