The wheels and stance is nice on the car.

But the tinted headlights and kidney grill completely ruined it IMO.

Swoop...nice, I have a set as well. I haven't installed the mustaches yet as the matte black ones I have on are stuck (threaded the screws I think)

You got to fix that taxi mishap ASAP my friend

Interesting, but I would have personally gone with black, for a white car.

No offense dude, but the hunt for originality and uniqueness sometimes ends up in strange things. Like this bimmer looking like a blind man with funny nose. I'd almost say disgusting (putting on flamesuit)
