That pinstripe made a lot of difference. Nice car!

I love the pin stripes on the car. It's one of my best friends tint shop. Peep them out if you're in the Inland Empire area. VIP Tint + Glass(www.viptint.com)


Specs on the wheels are 19x9 +6 and 19x10 +6

Originally, my car was vinyl wrapped. I had asked for a red color but the wrapper ended up putting something on that was orange like. Wasted $1200 but that was that. Make sure you go to a real shop where they stand by their work.

I've never been a fan of red but I can't stop looking at this car! Love more of the simple and clean look rather than all the aggressive custom work.

You got your car wrapped in a color that you didn't want and you didn't get a refund or a re-do? Wow!

Car looks AWESOME man. Props on the red! Always loved red sedans. Looks real clean. Proper wheels and height, and the pinstripe sets it off perfectly. Great work man!! Pics are on point as well!!

I asked for red just like how my car is right now but the person who wrapped my car gave me something that was orange. It's not hard to tell the difference between the two colors. My 4 year old niece even asked why did my car get painted orange. I'd name drop the person but I believe in karma. And yeah, he didnt want to fix this problem by any means. Sucks!

SerialNine! What's crackin!? Thanks for the love man.

Here's an update on the car. I guess nothing much different from the last set of pics besides my other front lip on. I decided to put the Greddy lip on since it sat much lower than the Admiration one.

I have new headlamps on the way here so I didn't want to waste time on these ones. Should have new ones on soon
