Hot damn!!! You went all out on the mods dude and it looks stunning. I hate seeing smoked headlamps, but it is so subtle that it works. The tint which I would usually not comment on looks spot on also.

Huracan. S63. CL63. E55.
Thank you for all the kind words guys! My calipers used to be yellow and I think the Verde Ithaca calipers are great because they are different and unique (two things that are very important to me when properly modding a car). Not everyone is going to like them, but I love the way they look and in person they look even better.

My shop put a lot of hard work into my car and with the help of ACG I got A LOT of carbon fiber and A LOT of extra power!

Big thanks to James and Peter at ACG, and to all my guys at Chapparone Auto Body & Paint!


edit: can anyone help me out with a new sig! My old one is a bit dated...
