rims are nice, how long did it take?. however you gotta lower the car. it'll look so much nicer

also, before you take pics, you always gotta use tire shine.

Mine came out glossy the first time but ran a bit so we redid them and they came out flat. I didn't want to get any clear cuz I was so pissed about it. Plus the body shop that painted my bumpers peeled off some of the spray anyways. I'll just do them over AGAIN and clear them =/


P.S. Black headlight housing go go

GRIP spring are hopefully getting ordered tuesday, windows are getting tinted on tuesday and they head lights and tail light are getting done at my shop so they will look 100x better within the next week. Also about the tire shine I know I was tired as hell and did not feel like doing it more pics when I get the windows tinted in the next couple days limo all around cant wait

dude, did you spray paint your tail lights too.

The "blackout" ruins the look and the rims look a little cheap too.
