Looks great! Just my opinion but that things needs to be dropped. My red WS6 on black TTms looks great and it really pulls the wheels off.

car looks awsome, but your exhaust is about 1-2"s to the driver side and not centered =X or maybe its just the pics angle i dunno. you should def chop the tips down a bit if u keep them on ;D

Not a big fan of red but that one looks nice. Enough black to break up the red. Congrats on a great job!
