Fresh paint.

Came out really well. Few flaws here and there, but I love it.

Will get better pics on a day the sun comes out.

i like it... but it needs some different wheels to pull it off really well... and maybe some different exhaust tips.. or at least just make it so they dont stick out so far from the bumper.

ehh not really feeling it. maybe its just the wheels, but stock wheels painted black just looks real cheap to me. maybe if you had some gloss black 18s itd look better

I seem to be having that problem on every board I'm on. General consensus is that everybody hates everything about it. I guess this is what I get trying to be different

I don't think it looks bad, but I agree on the new wheels part. It doesn't quite look like primer but I can see where people would think it when it's just driving by. And the door gap, ouch.

Different. Couple suggestions:

Black the 3rd brake light.
Black corners.
New exhaust tips, or at least adjust them. They look crooked/stick out too far.
Different wheels. Snowflakes aren't appealing IMO. Good set of wheels would set it off better I think.
The painted calipers stick out. With everything else murdered out I'd paint them black too.
Oh, and it has to be said. Lower it
