[sprinter119]

Well thanks for your honesty some like it some dont just showin the before and after

[Qcpro5]

sprinter119: Honestly now, I'm not a big fan of the black accents on your car.

mtv: I prefer your stock look + windows tint. Too much black.

NCZ13: HOTNESS

magnumP5: love it, red P5's ftw


All great efforts nontheless but who am I to judge? My car is bone stock...except for whiter headlights :P

The main thing is to not get ricey.

[MTV]

looks much better with the black.

chrome headlights < black headlights

stock rims < gunmetal rims

Stock taillights < slightly smoked tails

[sprinter119]

hey mtv i like how your car is lowered how are those H&R springs treatin ya hows the ride.

[MTV]

Ride is great. Nice and stiff for the cornering stability and not too bumpy.

The ride height is perfect too.

Matt

[sprinter119]

Awesome i might get some of those or teins love the way your ride looks.

[MTV]

thanks bro
