    Oh man...come to think of it. I was thinkin about gettin a c/f oem replacement hoods but add the evo vents to it. I dont like the evo style c/f replacement hoods. they dont look good to me compared to oem. Its the way the hump is done.

    Carbon fiber definitely looks good, man. I'd think about getting that evo style grill though. For some reason, I don't really like that grill. I know RRM sells the evo style grill in cf.

    I actually love the grill, somethen different. And I got a great deal on the hood, not gonna ruin that by spending $200 on a grill lol. I'm cheap.

    Whoa. What the hell happened to them? And the winter wheels don't look too bad. Remind me of L2Q's old rims he had.

    Well they are cheap light weight aluminum and when I went to take my old wheels off they cracked and split(well 2 of them did), probably the cold weather but still shitty. Yea they aren't bad, better then steelies with hubcaps like I rocked last year haha. It's just those 60 profile tires are HUGE, car is ready to go mudding lol.

    Damn. Your winter wheels are nicer than my steelies I rock as everyday wheels. Any shots of a direct side shot, with no wheels turned, of your winter wheels? I just ordered some S. Techs thanks to your car, and I'm curious as to how they'll look with smaller wheels.

    Yep I'll get some up here soon, hopefully with my real camera haha.

    Haha no rush. I'm just anxious for my moderate drop lol.

    I think color matching your mirror housings would do wonders for your car. I <3 your build. So simple and clean.
