You live in Mexico so I see where are you coming from but, you bought headlights from the factory new? Those are crazy expensive but you short on the decent wheels? Enkeis are cheap and good quality.

Im sure if he wanted enkeis he would've bought them. He likes the ones he bought, not much else to say.


Im digging this car a lot. Clean and well thought out, no silly BS mods.

Personally I think the Varrstoens look awesome on your car! People that complain about replica wheels amuse me... it's not their pockets that are being emptied.

thanks, It's been awhile since a post here, I didn't knew at the time I bought the wheels if a lower offset would fit, so I went for the safe choice, then at 2012 I rolled my fenders and fitted a 20mm spacers at the back, and 10mm at the front

here some old pics of the process

Long after that I bought a extreme dimensions amuse style body kit, that I regret of buying, the body kit fits terribly and the finish is awful, so I decided not to put it on the car





so I decided to get another body kit, and to make a choise, I did a photoshop of Bmurray's car, and so I decided to buy a Shine amuse V2 style body kit



here it is the body kit

Pockets don't get emptied by knock off wheels.

I got my car back from the paint shop and took a bunch of photos, I'm very happy with the result, but now I think I need a new set of wheels

Looks amazing man. An HR hood would have been a nice addition, but I really like it.

thanks, I agree in the hood, I'm thinking on the one with the vents just like yours, in carbon fiber to match the other pieces... I use your car as inspiration as you might have noticed

Car looks great. Agree that simply an HR hood would be a nice change. Maybe in CF to tie in with the other CF aspects

Looks great. As others have said, an HR hood or cf hood or something would really make it pop. Also, a shorty antenna would be great.
