Welcome to the forum man. Dont get offended as many members will not hesitate to voice their opinion (good or bad) with re: to appearance of your ride. Everybody has their own style. Just know when you post up pics you are fair game for these opinions whether you asked for them or not. Trust me, there is no shortage of opinions here dog, you will realize that right quick! GL

Welcome to the club.

Can you post some more pictures from a farther distance?

I think I like your spoiler, but can't tell.

of course no rub no scrub, it doesn't look like it dropped much
it only looks flushed sitting on 20s, because your wheels are big

The big wings aren't too popular on here, functional or not. Welcome.

I'm not ragging on you but how many birds come and take a bath in that wing when it rains? Jeez..............that's pretty wild! Look like it will hold a lot of water until you move it.

Anyway...............Welcome................oh, and get some clear corners, IMO that will make it damn near complete on the outside.
