New Guy... I Brought Picsss

I've been lurking around so I figured I would finally post some pics.

Since the pics were taken I've ditched the stripes, they were mainly just for photoshoot purposes.

The wheels are XO Monacos and the car is lowered on H&R Springs.

Hope you like and enjoy!

Good call on the stripes. I think it will look much nicer without them.

overkill on mods ?

Great looking wheels ! Good call to remove the stripes !

But that front end is far too much like a Lexus ! IMO, if you restored the area under the grill back to stock, then you would have a much better looking front apron.

One more suggestion: change that dorsal fin back to black !

Here are a few pics minus the stripes. I'll be wrapping the roof again in gloss black soon.

I hated the front bumper piece at first but surprisingly besides here, its what gets the most compliments on the car.

Remove the faux spindle grille and the stripes, and you might be onto something. Lexus aesthetics don't warm all hearts these days

I do like the blacking out of the chrome piece at the bottom of the front bumper, and how it matches the similar treatment on the sides. The front chrome seems a little garish to me.

Great looking car. I like it when people make their car the way they want it. Enjoy.

Nothing wrong with some criticism either, if done in a nice way. Maybe the OP would welcome opinions, even though he wasn't explicitly asking.

I like the front. Although, I can't live without my hood emblem. I love your 3rd pic. That's a bad **** ride.
