globalm3- your car is an extension of you, if you love it thats all that matters. You cant go around trying to please everyone. Lucky for you the mods you did were cheap and if you dont like it after a while its not much of a loss. By the way i did have the tail lights blacked out but left the clear exposed...I ended up taking them off because it gave the car a cheap look. You have a really nice car just the way you bought it, the way i see it why spend $$ on a body kit, and crazy mods that will cost around $10,000 when i could have put that ten grand on my purchase price to get a GT3 that comes with a Kit and added HP

When I saw this thread I thought, "Dritan changes cars like I change underwear."

Well, maybe he changes more often but one of these days I will get that coveted third pair!

Another beauty of a car Dritan.

the wheels are photoshopped...it is originally a TechArt photo, and this car has 20s....i think the size of the wheel was artificially "enhanced"

LOL don't be so hard on yourself, some people just suck at modding just messin with ya!

IMO dark tints look horrible, having such a bright color car and so many blacked out features just makes a lot more pronounced, doesn't flow as well and gives the too much aftermarket type look, at least to me!

Go with some champion wheels, or some sick one piece wheels with an aggressive offset, HRE just came out with a set that would be stunning on your car in all black.

If you want some contrasts go for some gf bits, mirrors/wing and rear diffuser (I believe its a diffuser and not full bumper)? I'll post pics when I get home but car is nice man!
