looks interesting but by painting it flat red you've lost your polished/chromed blingness of your lip...

If it was me who did something like this I woulda gone with one of these type of jobs.. red colored chrome for the lip. Looks much better!

It needs a drop, if that will even work with the offset of those front rims

i agree... but i would change a couple of things probably in this order

remove rear bumper smoke vinyl on lens

redo lips

add on redouts

drop

exhaust

body kit

your modding a bit backwards by the way

Sorry, not feeling it. Too much red on the wheels, not enough red on the car. I think it would look better as chrome or black.

The wheels are def. unique, I actually like them, I just really dont like how high the car rides. Stretch some tires and lower that baby

Here's an idea:

Remove rear reflector smokes as the guys said, red outs, then red out the emblems..

... mine as well. never been done before, like your rims.

Go full on with the red/black theme
