Ride looks nice but one piece of advice...have you tried painting the original grill silver instead of the star grill? I bet that would look a whole lot better!!

Oh yeah...+2 on the wheels!!! Enjoy the ride and welcome to the forum!!

I think it's that there are so many circles (the star plus headlights) that it make the car look a bit alien. The first picture looks like the star even sticks out a bit... I think it brings the focus too much to the protrusion of the grill. Other than that, though, the car is great! I can't tell... Is the car silver or a gold(ish) colour? But yeah, paint the grill body colour!

Edit: That was a dumb question, it's in your sig.

There are two things u need to do and dont be mad at me cause im saying this lolz.

1) drop that ASAP ( a must)
2) Change the grill back to stock and paint it.

I love your wheels man .

I agree, the car would benefit greatly by a drop.
The back looks ok though and you could get a way with maybe just changing the spring pads at the font.
Stick some rear wheel spacers to kick the back out too.!
The front for me is a bit busy, I like to keep it neat and simple, but thats only my opinion.

Nice !
