Sweet jesus I'm in love...again. The first time was the first time I saw your car, but I'm so glad you went with white this time around. I love the color matched projectors. My would be to either smoke, blackhouse, or get black corner lights to match your rears or your projectors.

Long story short, I LOVE IT.

Only thing I don't like is the side vent on each side of the front bumper...but everything else is super sexy. I looove how the corners look, and I'm not a fan of clears.

The reflective tint worked with the last paint job..this one, not so much. Thats the only thing that really throws it off for me. looks good though, paint looks flawless. move that front plate or do somethinggg with it.
