I'm with CCJ on this one....doesn't flow. A+ for originality, but color matched grey would be much cleaner.

I like it, but think that it would look better on a different color car. Tungsten or white maybe?

I got some incredible night shots just now!!







the crappy orange light behind the trees at the top of the hill created an insane backdrop light color with the cloudless night sky and the light coming right at the car (behind my camera) was fluorescent emitting a very rich, bright white. turned out amazing with some low exposure settings and a tripod!

I think deep purple would be awesome, not feeling the blue. Thought the looked great until on the car, then not so much.

Love the caliper color, I like the stance, rims are nice, the Meme face is freaken funny and the rest of the car is good

I don't like the rim color and the black window trim was nicer

I was thinking the same thing. Nice stance though. If you are happy with how your car looks that's all that matters.
