Thank I purposely left it to keep some contrasts to the black, but I definitely see it looking great the other way as well.

Looks good! I really like your wheels for some reason, and i'm not a black wheels fan. Def needs a wash though

Oh yeah, you need a front emblem or atleast shave it off. But besides that, your car looks greatt

nice car. +1 on the spoiler, but go with the v1.

p.s. your car would look 10x better with some tire shine.

thanks! Some other friends who don't like black wheels have said they like it too. It's a love it or hate it color, but I think it came out well. The emblem will be added, but just haven't gotten around to it.

thanks. Tire shine is needed. Agreed. Tires only have 50 miles on them so far. Haven't gotten to that yet either

Actually, I LOVE the eyelids, I think it's b/c car is black, so it doesn't make that gap between the hood and eyelid as noticable. Looks mean as hell



edit:


Looks like S2k
