damn thats sexy. :)

thats looks so insanely nice.

sweet as usual. is it me or is the hood gap a little too much on the drivers side? maybe its just me as usual :) haha lol

i noticed that as well and i was going to ask if that's seibon

you need different rims. Your mods are too expensive for cheap axis hiro's..

hre's or iforged would look much more impressive.
