i agree with you about the spoiler hanging over the quarter panel, but you can leave the part that hangs over on both sides unpainted. Just make sure they paint the spoiler to line up with the trunk. i bet it'll look better than u think.

if you're going to spend the money on your car you might as well pay the extra cash for some quality wheels...$517 per wheel isn't that bad at all for a quality wheel especially advan. hell if you don't want to pay 500ish per wheel then go look at some volk racing ce28s. similar look and a bit lower in price

dude i say extend the black on to the back bumper kinda into a V but with out the two sides touching then also paint PART of the spoiler black as if the lines of the trunk continue up on to it...it would look sweet


i still really like the work though
