Looks great, didn't it have FM5s on it at one point and a SSlAMD on the plates? Cars clean, even if it was stock I would or mild bolt ons with the wheels I say you did well on the price, given the mods being high quality I say you did really well. You can buy them cheaper but if you want a quality Fcar that isn't beat to **** it's worth paying a little more. Most the cars under 10 are usually trash, that car is a steal given the mods and quality.

It was the orignal owner I got it from and he acted like it was stock wheels before these. not sure about the plates but the car was located in Spring.

Only reason it stuck out to me was because when doing an image search on Google for "Fikse FM5" it's one of the first ones to show up.
