clean ride. Are you planning on lowering it or are you enjoying the comfort?

Looks real clean...
Roads out there may be bad so maybe put some coils or springs and drop it a tad.

Really, really nice car man, but it is frowned upon to put "430" when it is actually a "300". You should change that. You should either stick to chrome or the black pearl emblems. Other than that, the condition of your car is immaculate

Looking good. I was wondering about the bumpers at first, but looks great after you repainted them. Not fond of the re-badge, unless you actually swapped out the engine to a 430, otherwise that's a big no no. Other than that, the finish on the car is very nice.

+1 to the gold badges and the the fact that they say 430...thats a little crazy lol. but i guess it's a matter of whatever floats your. I will commend you on how clean and fresh the paint looks though. still a very nice car. good progression.

The finish looks great, all the hard work payed off! I'm not a fan of the 430 rebadging (or honestly gold emblems altogether) personally.

Are those Magnaflow tips? They look like mine.

false badging is a big no no. Also i really liked the original rims theyre better than the ones you got to replace them. But nice job of cleaning the car up.

P.S. WTF MATE??? Since when does the GS3 Have a pop up antenna in the back?

It's not a U.S. car, so it has the retractable antenna, along with other small differences.
