you drive a volvo station wagon, you've already failed at life.
debadging it and adding purple wheels is not going to fix anything.

I dont have any rep parts other than the shine sides?

It's illegal, but not appropriate; it hinders the car's ability to handle how it is should be.

Anyway, this can work here. Subaru BRZ caught in fire!

Don't ask me why Danmn, but for some reason whenever I see pictures of your car this is what pops into my head...
