I'd put the stock hood and those painted stock wheels on it. The first pic looks better to me than the second; that color is tough to accessorize without disrupting the flow of the car.

oh oh oh.haha the dirt spots on the hood are a crack and fade marks, i got the hood for 30 bux off a friend who hit a deer with it, i put about 60 bux into it and fixed it.


and im painting the wheels almost a bronze color, its actually a mercedez benz color. doin a base/clear on the wheels.
