A few changes!
Well, You guys were right! The wheels are starting to grow on me. Here are a couple of pics with mod's made.
Added F-Sport springs, The car dropped more than I thought it would, Maybe extra weight in a 450h? none the less I love the look!
Added window tint.
Next up....Paint the top black, maybe exhaust?
Thanks for the advice guys!

Thanks,
Wheels are Foose- F-136 20X8.5 all the way around, look more expensive than they were.
I had the dealer install my springs, I more than likely paid a couple hundred more to have them install. Also this was the first 450h they had ever done, it took them a lot longer to install than they thought, but the guys as the dealership where drooling after the install.

Mike,
Your car looks clean dude. You paint that roof and its going to just set it off. Nice choice in keeping them. I love the color scheme you have going on.
Good luck and thanks for sharing

Mike,
You could get the vinyl roof. That way if you don't like it you can peel it off, but looking at the other matador red cars with the black roofs I think you'll like it just my opinion.
Get the tanabe exhaust you'll like it. I have posted a thread of mine with sound clips.

Springs cost $299
Install cost $400
Total with tax $777
I know you can get it done a lot cheaper, but considering this was the first 450h this dealership has ever done, it's not likely the local spring shop would have had clue one on how to install, the 450h is a lot more complex than a regular GS, according to the service guys.
