Hi,

Y'all regulars here on this forum must've heard or actually seen the thread on my pink 20s. Well, as much as I hate saying this, I'm actually glad they're goners. Bye bye pink, hello 20" BBS LMRs. Look Mich more grown-up I think.

Still not feeling it. Something isn't flowing right... I will admit it looks 2x better w/o the pink wheels. You would face serious ridicule here in the states for doing something like that. Just because you can put something on a car, doesn't mean you should do it. Air scoops, big exhaust cans, hood clamps, hood ornaments.

I really love those projector headlamps, in the states we have a chrome background, looks like flatte black on yours. Was this from factory or modified?

Car looks much better I really like those wheels. If you want to make it even better take off all the extras. Like the badges and that antena on the front bumper.

Less is more with a car like this.

Looks way way better. We won't even talk about those pink wheels again. Let's pretend they didn't happen.
What are those vent things on the side skirt?

Definitely looks better. Not feeling the chrome in the red areas circled above but a big improvement.

I don't like the two toned tint. the extra stuff glued to the sides of the car, the mondo exhaust tips, or the center caps but there is much less for people here to point out now. :P

Get rid of that license plate frame while you're at it!

The sex toy hanging from the mirror...?
