Oh wow!!! Different, but definitely not my taste. However, I won't hate on what you like so if you like it then who cares what anyone else thinks.

I like it. Just need to tie the wheel color with black. Still look out of place.

It's definitely getting lowered ASAP. May need to buy a new daily driver soon so I can't afford to spend the money.

I hate when people do something different JUST "to be different" and it turns out a fail, like this did. THERE IS A REASON IT IS CONSIDERED DIFFERENT! IT IS BECAUSE EVERYONE ELSE KNOWS IT DOES NOT LOOK GOOD.

Sorry, I'm usually nicer but since it's on a black TA I'm a little pissed
