I like it so far. But I think you need tint and then do something with the calipers and rotors. The rust just sticks out really bad for some reason. Good so far though

i like the fact you haven't had to invest a lot of money and the car looks pretty good. little bit of paint and a drop goes a long ways!!!!

Looks good bro. For some reason I really like the door handles. Good luck with the other mods.

nice sportcross. looks like you went a little plasti-dip crazy. but its always removable.

love the color. but im a little biased.
i have always been a little weary of doing black on white, because of the chrome head lights and tails. I went the easy route and did clear side markers (front and rear) and silver/ polished wheels.

just a suggestion, if you're going white with black accents, do black headlight housings and black taillights, or red outs. just my opinion.

ya if you have any questions on the headlights, hit me up, since ive done mine, my friends have been dropping off their lights to get painted, I charge them 25 bucks, and it takes me 2 to 3 hours per set, so ill be able to give you any pointers on making it quick and painless.

looks good man and that drop is awesome. i was wondering how long those door handles were going to last since they were a high traffic area. none the less good work
