hd 18" wheels (also on car)
greddy header's
apexi n1 full exhaust

well i got all that done and here are the pics but there is more to come. keep reading to the bottom to see more!!!!!

parts to add

cf roof wing and trd wing
paint part of hood
eyebrows
rotora big brake kit
rays titanium lip wheels in 19"

Welcome! Car looks good. Do you plan to paint the CF or are you gonna go all 1990's and leave it unpainted?
