Well, i agree with most of not all.
I will looking into getting a 3 piece rear wing. dropping 1" removing rear eyelids for now and look for a diffrent set of wheel.
I wonder how much i can get for a set maido gr5 20" with tires can go for now. I will be posting on the classifieds.
Zone wheels look crazy, i saw them on another blue gs4 and it looked sick....

Change the wheels or get them refinished and lose the overlays.

Well, i looked into it. I even email Bob witht he sick blue lex about it and he said that the wheels are Maya with japan specs so the only thing i could do is re paint them which i really dont want to do since i dont think any color would make them stand out. If i could swap the face i would but from what i looked it cant be done.
but yeah zone 8 wheels would look Crazy Awesome. i wonder how much they go for. used or new???

+1 nicer more aggresive rims would give you that wow!

car looks very nice.

I would go with a 3pc wing, like JP. Also go a bit darker on the tint as well. And it never hurts it to drop it more.

hey aristo 2369, i take it you either didn't like my suggestion or it was a little to elaborate of an idea... the whole changing of the fogs to circular ones makes it look a little more recent with the times or doubling them up on each side like a brabus which requires some molding... also some fender ducts might work and match your hood scoops if done properly.

Your car is alreasdy beautiful.

by the way, what kind of hood is that?

i suggest possibly chrome wheels instead of the silver you have (this would make the car pop off much more); possibly chrome door handles;

DEFINATELY NEED a much darker window tint, your's is too light;

You ever think about a nice set of braces...? I'm sure a nice intercooler with a turbo setup would raise your wow factor.

The hood is from a cobra.
Well, i want chrome but i rather have a machined finish. Im looking to options but i really like the zone 8 wheels. i havent seen any other wheel that has that effect on the car.

Well, i can look into options, maybe i can make a cover to make it look round or double. I would spend alot of time making the mold to make the look come out corrent. I have strobes in the fog lights so i dont want go too crazy. simple mods you know.

Car looks pretty good to me, although I would change the rims to maybe 5 spoke wheels. Those tails remind me of a 5 series bmw
