what do you guys think about a quad diffuser + tips in the near future
as well as 15% tints, and carbon fiber wrapped mirrors?

another one that im not so sure about is the yellow tint DRLs


Also, anything else you guys have in mind, let me know!

I kinda agree. I feel like everything just kinda blends in together. A little contrast does allow the appearance of your car to pop more.

Also OT but Hotel, I swear I was in the same BF3 server as you the other day. LOL.

Not really a fan of it either honestly, i just think the rims look absolutely great, especially in person, it gives the car more of a unique sporty feel IMO, the other things i plan on doing are

20% tints
CF wrapping the mirrors
and getting a quad exhaust sometime in the near future

No, but I do regularly clean my car and do use a pressure washer. No problems at all, they hold up just fine to pressure and abuse.

Love the look of those rims plasti dipped great job. Plasti Dip is surprisingly durable for something that you could remove whenever you want with little hassel.

There is a fine line between classy/subtle additions and the boys from the hood having got hold of it and made changes they would not have made if they were men from the hood

1. Is it easy to get all areas of the wheel?
2. Did you take the wheels off or do on the car?
3. Also do you think it's easy enough to mask the spokes to create a two tone look?

looks clean man.....im debating whether to do that or not. I like to keep some contrast either with rims or chrome trim around the windows.....I like that we basically have the same car and can check out each others mods before we do it lol
