Default First pictures of my DB8

So I've been lurking on here for about 2 months now when I got my car and just now decided to register since I got some decent pictures of my car. Ordered a new lip for it so no need to bring that up Motor is just a stock JDM B18C which I just finished rebuilding about 2 weeks ago.

Comments and criticism welcome on both pictures and car. (don't know why the pictures are grainy?)

Gotta change those rims asap. They stand out wayyy too much. Looks good though.
It may be the lighting, but your headlights look a bit foggy.
And your pictures are probably grainy from the low light.

Wheels are getting changed but not because of the color. I love the color. But because I want something wider or something with lower offset. The headlights were foggy in the pictures but are cleaned up now and look WAY better!

I'm currently looking for a lip and the headlights, I just finished cleaning. I used the 3M kit and it's worth every penny! Huge difference! Not diggin OEM wheels at all but I will change it up. Don't worry I'm gonna stretch the tires beyond belief, lol. Just enough to where there's not a lot of space between the fender and tires. Not gonna be "hellaflush" by any means.

OEM wheels are gay.

You should get some TE37 redone in Takata green, would look sick.
