What is done to that top one? It looks like some moulding around the bottom of the frunt bumper, and the rivets that hold the stock grille in place are smoothed out. How is this done? On a related note, I really like yours, lower it though. Thats what I'm doing next too.

Get rid of those ugly halos! Lower it and then your set. That car looks sexy.

eh, looked better stock. Not digging the stock grill, halos, or rivets. Although the smoked corners look nice.

Lose the side moldings(a heat gun(not too much)/fishing string works well. Lower it with sportlines. Lose the wheels COMPLETELY. Those wheels are horrible. But overall. Nice car

Looking good The wheels aren't horrible, but like said above black rivets would look better. Personnally I would also take the grille off (free mod, just yank it off) + the side molding. But what it needs the most is a set of springs (get the Strano springs, they're the best).
