anyways, hate your car cuz it's sexy..love those CF
how about some CF rims to finish off??
yea man i had to take off the lower portion to install the License Plate lamps (the OEM LED's)

IDK about CF rims it might be overkill.. i can get them dont get me wrong but idk what im going to go with yet... its such a tough decision!
