Everything on the whole front of your car is looking super clean and new.

After some night driving your gonna love having a retro and wish you had done it sooner, it's one of those mods like a stereo or tint where you get to enjoy it from inside the cabin all the time, which is different from paint, rim style, or aero where you know it looks good outside but your always inside and don't get to see it!
