I think you need to go lower to pull those wheels off. I think they still look too big...other than that, looks good.

what size are the yokohama tires on your stock rims? trying to see if they're stock or 245 width. Your ride looks great!

Nice work man. Those rims are sweet...look like DPE's...

Keep the tint like everyone has said, looks way better that way.

Only thing I'd do is shine up those exhaust tips (I use this stuff called Flitz, works really well), and you're done.

Your car looks sick.

You just need to finish the look by blacking out your headlights.

Also invest in one of these for your front plate.

HEEEEY!!! NICE! I thought the rims looked good on WDP, but it's looking real smooth on NBP! You got those shoes on pretty quick! Everything looks good! Enjoy! Oh and keep the tint... go 20 all around if you can.
