Both good and bad things you think about the car would be appreciated, as well as suggestions. Just don't flame.

Can't say I like the wheels, but otherwise it's pretty clean.

 

im not a fan of em2's, and i think a front lilp would accent it well.
wheels i could do without, but its a nice start for sure

 

clean, but im not feeling the wheels either
