You should have a diff color font because blue font and a blue background = hard to read. Nice car though.

I like the color but the body kit just doesn't do anything for me.

Are those stock leather seats or did they come out of a different car? Also, where'd you find those clear side marker lights?

No I don't have any friends that work in a body shop. I did all of the body work myself, except for the painting, which I might try next time. When I go home again, I'll take a pic for you, but that won't be until the end of october. The front and rear sidermarkers are both from the Mercedes ML320, just custom fit to the car.

I'm also not so sure if I love the kit. I might take it back to stock in a few years after I do the motor and that stuff.

Yes those are stock leather seats. Everything on the interior is stock at the moment.

Hey if you like the kit that's all that matters.... but I like the color. Nice rich, deep color.

should have ditched the kit and used that money towards something that actually adds performance. Never made sense to me why people want to look fast before they actually are fast.

Like the paint though.

The reason I put a kit on it is because my dad borrowed my car one day and a deer hit him. They paid to have the car painted and the damage fixed. If this didn't happen, I never would have wasted the money on the kit before motor and such. I wish the seats were in better shape though. And I do love how the color turned out on my car. Everyone comments on how nice the color is, and it looks like a deep purple at night.

The fronts only needed a little modification to fit, but the rears needed a lot more. The holes in the side of the car had to be enlarged, and the lights had to be trimmed down to fit. I primered the metal after I sanded it down. You just have to make sure you don't make the holes so big that the lights won't hold themselves in.
