I was talking about the spinning Hubcaps, not actual wheels, which I think are way over rated.

mesh grill, wash and wax it, lisc plate frame, door sills

i think lowering the cl actually makes it looks 10000x greater, that can get costly though

i'm actually going to be taking pics and posting a thread later tonight, i redid all the lighting basically, all the interior, my headlights, my foglights.. so keep an eye out for the thread

but let me tell you, i had the polargs in there side by side with the LEDs, OMG, what a difference, i can't even explain to you how bright the LEDs are, but not bright ina blinding way, they are purplish/blue tint when lit, but light up EVERYTHING and i think it was the best 30 bucks i spent on the car yet
