I like it but then I don't like it. But then your car is done so tastefully that I like it. I'm confused.

The more I look at these the more I like them. My only suggestion would be black lugs.

Stock camber. I've never touched it. I did roll the fenders and pulled the rear a little bit. To drop it low like the last pic I had to bend up the metal tab from the body of the car on the rear. The plastic tab from the bumper I shaved it off on the rear and remounted the bumper a few inches back from the original location of the tabs.
