sprinter119: Honestly now, I'm not a big fan of the black accents on your car.

mtv: I prefer your stock look + windows tint. Too much black.

NCZ13: HOTNESS

magnumP5: love it, red P5's ftw


All great efforts nontheless but who am I to judge? My car is bone stock...except for whiter headlights :P

The main thing is to not get ricey.
 
looks much better with the black.

chrome headlights < black headlights

stock rims < gunmetal rims

Stock taillights < slightly smoked tails
 
Ride is great. Nice and stiff for the cornering stability and not too bumpy.

The ride height is perfect too.
