let me know what you think. i'll edit this post in a second when my internet stops acting up with pics of the bodykit on. i really like it a lot. tomorrow morning (well, later today hah) me and my roommate are going to finish up the bodywork (mold in the sideskirts/back bumper, a couple dings in the side, one on the hood) and then i'm going to purchase the paint smile.gif i'm going to go with a white pearl mica' it's nice.

mwood i eventually want to go to a shark spoiler, or maybe the cuda kit's spoiler... i like how it makes the back end not just drop off. but for now it's staying.

You're off to a good start, especially with that kit.

Here's what you need to do:

Loose the wing, get a shark spoiler.
Loose the painted headlights.
Lower it and/or get bigger wheels and wheel spacers.
Paint the whole car in the pearl white, including the mirrors.

That's what I would do at least. Then you'd have a nice, clean car that is tastefully done. smile.gif

Ditto on losing the tinted headlights.

I like the way they look, as I am in the process of wanting to do mine. But your obviously going for the white look, and they stick out too much.

Looks good though.

Ditto on installing some hids. But if it was my car, id rather go without a spoiler than having that wing tailgating me all the time. Not trying to hate on you man. I like the car overall. But in my city, cars with wings like that get made fun of all the time. But overall, keep up the good work.

i say get the cuda spoiler get EYELIDS and get hids but not blue ones lol
new hood wouldnt look bad.
if u havent tinted the taillights u should, looks great!
the kit would lookd better moulded but i love the white (no rust is always a big +)
does need to be lowered tho but depends where u drive...
