Your winters are meh, Leesha. And to finish off that look you really need the side aero flares, the middle back is very empty. Also no more sunroof reflector, and clear side markers. Other than that all looks good. Do you plan on getting an exhaust since you have the intake.

IMO - Concerning Velocity Reds & side markers, I think that the VR looks good with the ambers (they blend).

I'll consider getting rid of my stock bumper. It does have a ding on the bottom lip though.

Well to answer that.. I'm not the one that spent 14k.
To your other question.. the 8 has nice handling but its nowhere near perfect. Search around... you'll see
Why are you so insulted with me saying learning the car.
Everybody should always do that, but I guess you ego is bigger than everyone elses.
Have a nice day.


Now back to topic..
NICE PICS altspace and leesha..
Hey leesha I have never seen your wheels before, when did you get them?

Exactly! I also used amber overlays on my foglights to match.

Leesha, my lugs are RAYS red anodized. Yea, I love MS parts too, but wanted to focus more on other mods. However I did put on the appearance package. I think it adds that little bit of sport appeal without going overboard. My Racing Beat exhaust is not in that photo.

It doesn't look that bad actually. If you put some more black on the car it would accent it and make it look pretty clean IMO =]

yeah, a cop isn't supposed to give you a ticket if the car doesn't come with something to attach a plate to it.

at least that is the way it is in vegas, so if i ever get pulled over for that ill be like, the car never came with a way to attach it. i keep my front plate in the trunk.


if i did not get a VR, the only other color i would have wanted would have been stormy blue. i love that color
