I think it looks pretty damn good. You need that trim piece on the passenger fender?

Two problems.
- You're not a McLaren F1, so your windshield wiper does not look cool.
- The exhaust.

That is all I present this conversation with, as you can tell I am of the conservative school of thought when it comes to modifications.

Third thing I realized, the filter on the intake = loss of power. It leaves no time for the air to gather velocity before reaching the plenum. But I see you have an intake on order, so the world is a happier place.

Positive - Flat black just works, I'd never do it but it just works in this occasion.

as i stated above the wiper is like that cause of the buster windshield it will be back down in no time. and exhaust was just cause there wasnt a tip on it and it was loud so i ghetto fabed it up just to make do. and yes intake was supose to be here today but idk what happened maybe monday i hope. this is pretty much how i got the car except the tip.
