Im in yorktown. Thats westchester county ny. I dont know about painting the roof black, just doesnt feel rite to do that to this car. As far as mods go shes bone stock, and Im waiting to get the stock grill back from getting painted matte black. This summer I want to do a pulley with a let tune and their cooling package, along with vpr cold air intake.

Car was lowered with STAR. The grill I got on ebay, the quality isnt the best but it looked good with the previous wheels that I had. These wheels are forte f23 whees in virtual chrome black. fronts are 19x8.5 with a 32mm offset and the rear are 19x9.5 with a 36mm offset.

I need an opinion on tints. Which one would go with the car?? Its hard to tell but the wheels have a very deep shine at certain angles, so maybe a fog like tint?? Before when i had cls55 wheels i was going to do the blue hp50 tint.
