also not feeling the wheels, calipers or the tinted tails. overall i give you an E for effort
thank you! Appreciate that. And no there was just blue, its easier on the eyes than red would be on the inside of your car, one of my friends has red and its very irratating. But honeslty i'm a kid, my parents wont pay for my mods, i dont have an income, so i can't afford all the kits, rims, and aftermarket LED tail lights

As far as your car passing emissions with the headers, intake, and cat back exhaust. the headers eliminte all 3 converters on our cars, so you will need to get some sort of converter or high flow converter welded into your exhaust system, also as long as the intake is CARB exempt then it should pass. the headers will cause a CEL due to the o2 sensors having crazy readings with no B1 or B2 converters, that problem can easily be fixed with an o2 simulator wired in with your ecu as I did to mine, then you will have no CEL.
alright thanks man, i gotta lot to think about now..

wait a minute...

I'd repaint the calipers to red. Red and black is a good color combination. Drop the car to get rid of that 4x4. I'd even throw out the Christmas lights, but that's up to you.
i probably gonna go with white calipers, i just dont want red.. and yes it is getting lowered

Is it just me, or does the tread on the front tire look like it's going in the wrong direction? What if you painted the calipers a darker red, instead of fire engine red?
