Pretty much like the title states... Hmmm... What should I do next? All suggestions welcome.

Hope the pix go through... Had to copy and paste link cause I couldn't upload.

It's just your standard look... i'm debating if I should do a light tint, not sure.

Thanks! I got it through ebay awhile back... I'd love to get my hands on a Mattig grille, but have no clue where to get one.

Looking clean there. I think the car is perfect as is right now...maybe get a gloss black oem grille instead of the star but I think it looks good either way.

It's not the one that sits flush. I'd like one of those though. I got it when I got the CL grille a few years back through ebay.

Car looks good man, but if you're looking to do something, here are a couple ideas that i think would look good: paint the calipers, quad exhaust, tint?

what did you have in mind?

I would leave it as is as well. Car looks VERY nice.

Edit
Wait wait - quad exhaust doesn't sound bad with painted calipers (Good Idea Rollnnn)

Possibly paint the calipers and when you say tint, I'm assuming you mean the tail lights...

actually i meant window tint, cuz i didn't really look at your pics to see if you were tinted already, but i guess you are, so disregard that suggestion...

im not a big fan of tail light tinting, unless its very very light and subtle to the point that you cant really notice it.. and its done with paint and not tint...

painted calipers will look good, if you did it what color would you do?

Oh window tint... actually I have medium all the way around 35%. Got it done at Whittier Tint Shop when I first got the car in '06! Love it. I was gonna do the typical light in the front and dark in the back till they said, "HOLD UP!" and suggested Medium all the way around! FTW!!!
