Wink Need some ideas for my '08 IS

Hey guys I'm currently stuck on knowing what else I want to do with my car and I wanted to see what kind of constructive criticism or ideas you guys can offer to me on my car on what else I could possibly do else. I like a simple and clean look nothing too crazy. Here's some recent pictures that I took of my car. I included one when I had wheels on the car before I sold them to give you guys an idea of what it also looks like with wheels on, lol. Thanks.
*These pictures were taken off my iPhone 6 so excuse the quality I know it's not that great haha.

I would probably start with putting wheels back on it.

I have a set in mind already so wheels won’t be a problem. But I would love to hear your recommendation.

She just looked so good before with wheels. Lol. It’s such a drastic difference. But since wheels are in your near future, I would maybe do a TS2 hood or some aimgain or artisan spirits fenders. Or some 78 works tails. But she’s pretty beasty already!

Sometimes I hate that my car is black because there’s so little you can do because I feel like if it was painted pearl white it would definitely pop and look better and I’d have some more wiggle room and options to make this car look better. I tried my friends 78works tails and they don’t look good on my car 😭. I’m just so stuck rn haha. Same goes for the hood, I wanted t too but carbon fiber and black would blend in too much. I’ll look into those fenders you mentioned though.

True , the carbon weave would be hard to see far away but the vents would add just the right amount of pop. Sucks about the 78 works. I’ll have to order them at some point. 620.00 shipped is steep.

wheels and change the color, perhaps a wrap job.
on simple cars, the wheels do the 'poppin' .

Check out the new Vland tail lights that are out, they're a lot nicer then the 78 works IMO

Also, if your looking into wheels mine are polished aluminum with clear coat.. nice clean look..

Ever thought about a chrome delete? I had my window trim blacked out recently

If a simple look is what you are going for, I would definitely do a chrome delete as well as get some new shoes for her (BTW, your fitment + rolled fenders looks insane dude)
