Kinda like the interior leds, love the wheel ;p, and the trunk could get polished up... Never a fan of that kind of 2 tone, but rims and a drop could make a huge difference. Welcome to the club!!

little advice/suggestion when it comes to your trunk (since its your first) when it comes to beauty boards for amps, if you're gonna trace the amp as you have, will only look good if the amp is flush to the top and the trace is close to perfect. If you're gonna have a sunken amp, its usually best to graft out a smaller portion of the amp [like a window] and almost press it to the top of it... just a couple suggestions

oh and a router is a gift from God when it comes to stretching vinyl or some headliner under it will smooth out the edges as well.

and welcome

if you're looking for the two tone motivation, check out Platinum VIP's old two tone 300C similar to your color, but i think the car has a new color now?
