I personally would have kept the zr1s over the motorsports even though the motorsports match your "theme" more.

get rid of the truck grille and blackouts, or at least paint the area behind the grille black. The wheels are okay, I think the ZR1 chromes look better on white.

Loose the headlight covers. Smoke the side markers. Paint behind grill satin black or get the slp grill. Also i cant tell if the car is lowered or not so if its not lower it.

I agree with Nine Ball. the slp grill would make it look better, and idk about that import killer sticker on the back..maybe thats just me not liking any stickers on my car though.

wheels look sharp though.
