Just get some nice wheels...It will greatly improve the look of the car, much more than some carbon fiber overlay..

kalispera to a fellow greek owner. *wave*

i think it looks great as it is. but i second the idea to just get some really nice looking rims.

body kit looks great. you could do better on rims though.

you listed a few good rim companies.. but there are more..

bbs rs would look baller.
buddy club p1 would look aggressive.
enkei rpf1 is straight race.
enkei rp03 is straight baller.
o.z. superleggera and ultraleggera are really sexy rims.

carbon wrap the front and support local business. + rims, rims for sure.
that front always reminds me of a cayenne for some reason. looks good though.
