a few updates on the car got hids, tinted the windows with the bronze tint that i wanted ,even tho it did come out real dark can't really tell it's bronze. i also painted the inner grill portion flat black and put clear corners on as well and got coilovers on the way as well to replace the factory air suspension it came with


and led interior lights

thanks everyone for the comments so I have a few updates nothing major done but got some parts in...
These came in yesterday the car has factory air suspension which I wanted too just get a datasystem air controller but decided coilovers was the best way too go




and picked these up for super cheap locally they need some work but it's not bad the faces will be taken off and painted some sort of silver I haven't decided what yet any susgestions?? I even thought about color matching the faces hmmm



and they even came with almost new tires too bad im gonna have too sell them since theyre super beefy theyre 235/40 fronts and 265/35 rear I may just use the fronts for the rear and pick up some 225/40's for the front I really just wanted too go 215/35 fronts and 225/40 rear

good stuff but you can't decide tire specs without giving us wheel specs

I like your direction, but are you going to do anything about the front emblem?
it looks like a big void without the emblem giving contrast. maybe its just me.

as for the rims, I think a brushed aluminum face with the chrome lips would be a great neutral point.

either way, nice job so far
