I agree with UZZ-TT the brakes look ridiculously small. Upgrade to LS400!

very nice matte black. top it off with a satin clear. would be awesome. also not sure about the yellow fogs on red rims. never the less i love the look though.
Q: is that vertex authentic?

Q: is that a dent on the front D fender?

Best rattle can job ever!!

yea its a ait kit it fit real well i had to cut the side skirts cause they were a little short but overall it fit pretty good.

yea its a small dent thats the only body damage on the car. i plan to fix it soon i plan to paint it glossy black or white im not sure yet.

just wanted to add i know that a camera can hide a few imperfections in pics but that car looks like it was professionally sprayed...props on the job. and the wheels...really came out great. not everyone digs the wheel color but i think they MAKE the car. but of course to each their own...i've always been a huge fan of trying not to follow the crowd but go with instincts, and i personally think you hit a home run with it. the car is begging for a bbk though speaking of different, one of the local tuner crowd guys here in new orleans actually tattooed his 03 3-series bmw with a SHARPIE!!!! the entire hood cut with two lines and the entire(tiny) deck lid. of course he is an artist and did kind of like a jazz,tribal theme but you all have to see this car it came out FANTASTIC. it is so unique. but the point is everyone told him he was insane to actually put a sharpie to his car but VISION...of what the outcome is, is whats its all about
