Default Spring Freshening

Hello,

I've been on this forum for about 2 years, but I think this is my second post. First, I wanna thank everyone who posts on here, as this site has been very useful to me. Second, I thought I'd share some pics of my car. I know it's not spring yet, by I feel so terrible that my car has to go through most of the winter here in Chicago, so I like to spend a little money on it come spring to freshen it up. I just added Some 18/19 RUFF Racing 278 Hyper Black wheels that I bought through the vendor on this site, Some Depo black headlights which i used this site to decide on, and a Colgan bra. I'm really happy with the outcome. I've always thought my car kinda looked kinda feminine with the color and all. Now I finally feel like it's aggressive looking, and couldn't be happier. I was worried about the headlights as other members here, but all I can tell you is, they are so much nicer in person. Anyways, not too much sun here yet, but here's some pics:





Let me know what you think, and thank you again for everyone's help!!!

Eric
