Nice mods coming in. I'm assuming you got an awd model because your front rims/tires looks like it belongs in the rear and you swapped them around?

Needs a drop and spacers should help. Wheels look cool, but small. Black painted roof and door handles will go nicely too!

im not bashing your car dude its jus not my cup of tea...


and what i said is pretty straight forward what dont u get? lol
yes a lip kit and wheels is fine.. reason it isnt my cup of tea is the under sized wheels.. 4x4 status , and the kit ings kit would look 100x beter if color matched... and again this is IMO CF only works with sgm ,black , or white not tp...


like i said.. as long as your happy is what counts

hmm... there is a certain order in modding cars, you're not following it and thats why ppl are scratching their heads, i'm gonna guess you're gonna go 'tuner' styling, i wish you luck with that since there are only maybe 3 tuner style cars which have pulled it off to a degree that doesn't look ricey (johnnyboy/robs/supershyguy).
