I don't like the rims, yellow fogs, gold emblem, big sticker on windshield. Other than that it looks good.

Those wheels are ridiculous just like the incline of your seat, unless you're tall i can understand.

I'm 6'1 and my car's seat recline has always been broken. I couldn't drive properly with that kind of seat recline. The overlays aren't bothersome and the wheels are a new style, which I think is cool.

Glad to hear you're ditching the wheels. Get rid of the gold emblems next and you'll be money

seeing the plates are from the east coast, i can understand the yellow fogs so i won't give you any shit for that.

as mentioned earlier, glad to hear you're ditching the wheels. I would also ditch the stickers all together. Having glass clear & clean goes a long way. Also consider having your windows tinted. It gives a great look, and also will help keep the car cooler during the summer.

I was never a fan of the gold emblems, so i'd either go silver emblem, or ditch them all together. C-mod makes a mesh grille, but you could always (D)o (I)t (Y)ourself.


As for the wash itself... i'm a little shaky on it. From the pictures, it looks like it needs a re-wax. It could be the picture quality but i think i'm seeing swirl marks and it doesn't really pop like how i expected it to. I recently washed, clay barred, and waxed my TL, as well as my best friends G35 and it looked SPOT ON. no swirls or anything, just straight shine.


Long story short there's a lot of room for improvement, but this is only my 2 cents. Ultimately it's your ride, and to each his or her own.

Clean Ride. It really needs to be Sealed and Waxed though. Sealant will protect her and the wax will bring out that beautiful blue
