Looks good but I don't really see that big of a difference, other than the wheels and tint.

tint and wheels made a huge difference and i think the nightshade did also and the car has new front and rear seats and door panels and the car went from being a stock car to all the mods listed in my signature....i dwasnt just referring to the appearance...was talking about the car in general..interior/exterior/under the hood/performance

I liked the other wheels better, the factory WS6 wheels. Other than that, badass car. And ofcourse a different hood would be nice.

Just my oppinion.
