Barely, legroom is alright but headroom is a problem, and entry is small. And with wide side skirts I have notify all ppl to exist the car carefully to not scratch the paint.

The fender vents are the only chrome on the outside, I thought about black it out, but wish I could do a piano black like the mirror and grills :/

Congrats on the car!

Hit up iND for the vents and replace the amber reflectors. I got my stuff from them.
