Rear could be a bit more aggressive.

Car looks very clean. I like nonetheless.

Black mamba? seriously dude?
And those pics are just overly contrasted.

If I apply to 25 schools it came out to be $3315... X.x
If I sell my RE30s with tires I MIGHT have enough lol

Tell your car to stop doing photoshoots and go negotiate with the owners so we can end this lockout.
