Absolutely correct. I like the direction of the mods, but IMO you'll need a more aggressive kit and drop in order to avoid the questioning looks.

You need matte tint, that would be awesome, kinda scary to drive though haha. I wonder if it exists.

"DONT HAVE ANYTHING NICE TO SAY DONT SAY IT"

By posting on an internet forum, it is assumed that you are looking for feedback, both negative and positive.

Anyway, I am not particularly thrilled with the results. Perhaps with more aggressive modifications, as suggested numerous times. Props for a different mod though, and I would still stop and stare if I saw it in my neighborhood.

like what others said, need to be more aggressive if your whole car is matte black
