personally i'm not a fan of wide-body cars that don't already have the lines (evo 8/9 have the lines, supra's do, etc)

but, i have no doubt it will be beautiful when it's done, love the wheels!

I liked the original stock look, but maybe once she's done you will change my mind!

With the exception of the last pic, some guys from our local Evo club. Keep your E3 simple, it looks way better that way!
