i like it after transformation (very stock though). The orignial rims + tail lights are very ugly thanks god u didn't keep those. Look like it found the right owner.

make the paint shiny & I would call it done (if you want that stocky look anyways).

+just wonder how much time + money u spend on this transformation.

if u can dont keep it black. theyre a pain in the ass...every little scratch/swirl mark shows. u clean em and theyre dirty 3hrs later. i always wished for a black coupe and now that i have it i dont like it.
