Quick update:
Since the last time i posted I have done a few changes on my ride. Changes include painted calipers, 3000k hid kit on fog lamps, 20mm Sage RCA blocks up front and Cross drilled and slotted rotors combined with posiquiet brake pads. I have also received my roof spoiler from spoiler kings which i waiting to get painted for the install and have ordered a set of aluminum Pedals. Other plans for the summer will include window tinting and possibly get the car plasti-dipped matt blue with a glossy black roof and powder coating the rims to gun metal grey. Let me know what you guys think.

So this weekend I decided to get y windows tinted (35%), to get my roof wrapped and to install my roof spoiler. Let me know what you guys think. For those who are wondering the spoiler is from spoiler kings and had it painted onyx black.

Thanks for the compliment.
From what I hear the antenna is very difficult to wrap and eventually doesn't last to long. My original plan was to plasti dip the antenna after the roof wrap but after seeing it like that I decided to just leave it as is. I kind of like it. As far as the tint, I knew it would be a little light but at least I know that as is, I'm less likely to get pulled over by the cops.

Looks like she is in mint condition and was well cared for by previous owner.
