Damn, I think those chrome rims look really nice on your car in case those were the ones you were referring to as cheesy

Very NICE!!

I would have gotten rid of the chrome wheels, too. I think your current wheels are much nicer.

What was wrong with the puddle lights?

I like the front lip, don't like either set of wheels (new ones are a good improvement, though), the car's too low, don't like the weatherguards on the side windows. Nice color - obsidian?

Your car is a bit too low and your car could definitely use a refresh on the rims but I do like the angel eyes

What are you using for your drop? I am about to purchase H&R springs. Also, did you just upgrade the front bumper or is that an entire kit? I've thought about installing puddle lights myself and hooking them up to the un/lock wiring harness so they turn on and off when the car is un/locked. Welcome!

i got d2 full coilovers and camber kit in the back. make sure you mount your lights right cause mild rain could make the grip weak on the puddle lights. i had 2 lights dangling on the freeway one time. i swear people thought my car was a sleight or something haha
