Default Some updated pics from MIA

First sorry for the crappy pics, will have some better ones eventually.

Here are the updates...

Megan's
Painted the HRE's and added logos
Painted upper and bottom grille to match
Painted logos black
Here it is, let me know what you guys thinks and no I have not rolled fenders at all, plan to do so soon. I want it lower



Rear shot, got carried away with picasa

Grilles look almost the same pattern

Low...but not enough

Thanks guys...

Junjdm the black was a trial and error wnated to go against the grain here, had some black paint at the bodyshop and though I would try. I'll use it till I get bored and maybe paint them silver again. Thats the beauty of having extra paint and a booth

I kept asking myself while modding it .. is it ?VIP?

Actually, I don't mind the black wheels, I think it looks great. Not so much on the grill in front though. Kind of reminds me of a Hyundai Accent of something. Maybe a black color grill to match the wheels?

I want to put a emblem off center to break the linearity of the grille, just have not found the right one.

I like the jdm crown from toyota but its too big... maybe the Tsport ones of the toyota in Japanese letters.... huh
