I am a huge fan of the USB 2.0. With that said, I think the blue looks better with the contrast of the chrome and matte silver than with the black.

I agree. IMO, this does nothing to enhance the looks of a Premium Touring Coupe. I like silver/chrome finish better.

I like it. The only thing that bothers me is that the RC is so high off the ground. If the car could be lowered (somewhere where the front of the car is 5 inches off the ground, similar to the Lexus IS), it would be perfect.

Go with black chrome! It'll look good.

Looks like you're running donut from far away. I think it need some shine to it.

So lower it....simple fix lol but I agree with you 100% . The AWD version sat like a tank stock.

Looks good but after reading what others said about the blue and chrome, I'd have to agree...the chrome does really good with the USB. I did carbon fiber for my trims and it suits the white car. However id say to still get the roof in gloss black to set it off.

Generally not a fan of black wheels, but I like it.

Guess I'm too old or something but can't see lowering the car. May look better to some but the ride on most of today's road surfaces is punishing, and getting in and out of the car is no picnic either.
