Your car looks pretty hard man. I would say either newer, more aggressive/larger fitting wheels, air, and new trunk spoiler.

But I think your car looks great as is.

Your car looks great as is, but I think a nice set of wheels with the right offsets will give the car that WOW factor. Something staggered with a huge lip out back and maybe a BBK.

Yeah i been thinking of new wheels but i dont know if i should go with a 5 star staggered look or mesh style. Rear wheels are 285/30/20 front are 255/35/20 with brembos calipers out front. i was thinking of painting the calipers red?

i know what you mean man... i do like your car but it seems like it is missing something... its just a little dull but shouldn't be cuz of all the nice xtras it has... i would def. have to put a 3 piece attached type spoiler, like one of those small stick on types... and i now have just the thing after looking at your cars pics for about 5 mins...

in a few vip mags that i had from japan last year the newest thing at that time was to put the brabus or newer amg style twin fog lights molded into the front kit... i can't find one with the double small round fogs on both sides but here are a few with just the slight amg styling...




something like that, you know!!!

Like people have already said, a nice set of rims with a good size lip will definitely help you achieve that WOW factor even though your car is pretty close! BTW, what kind of roof spoiler is that? It looks really nice

Car looks pretty amazing to me. But if I had to nitpick... I'd say the spoiler is the weakest link. A nice 3-pc would set it off imho.

Those headlight and tail light overlays look incredibly cheesy.

I think if you lower your car a bit more you'll get some more WOW out of it. A proper stance is something that is often overlooked.

Well, i can remove the tail lids and try to lower the car about 1". I want to some clean chrome mesh style wheels. i put 19" and i didnt like it. I might be looking to trade/sell the wheels and get something diffrent. Thanks again, i really want to get as much feedback as possible. I was thinking of doing the roof black?
