I think it looks nice. I like the wheels. I prolly wouldnt have the rims myself but I think it looks good. and the drop is like perfect. i love your stance. wats the offset on those rims and the tire specs?

cool. i'm guessing that maybe cause your rims are wider so your stance looks different. i have 19s and a 2 inch drop and it doesnt look like that except for when im driving. wat springs and shocks are you using?

I think overall, it would look better if you dressed up the tires with some tire shine. The ashy look of the tires is killing it (and not in a good way if you know what I mean). Dress up the tires and take another pic. I'd be curious to see how it looked then.

need some more red on the side, maybe get clear side markers and tint them red
or get clear ones and leave them alone and put some black vinyl over the chrome edges around the window, so that there is more black up top. and all you have is the chrome bumper/body line and red lips on the wheels, i think that would look DAMN NICE!!!

I think the red lip stands out a bit too much for my taste but probably best suited for a black car. What are your other plans for modifications?
