Wow nice... looks extremely clean.. nice bling bling rims! haha
Cool way of starting out putting mods on the car .. I want to do the same, but nothing extreme. I haven't decided what I plan to do in the future but for now, I want to have a nice daily driver. I say Go with struts/sways and later into struts/springs ;]
Love the black rims and headlights. I really want to get the headlights like that too.
