Talk about murdered out, now all you gotta do it take care of the turn signals, exhaust tips, and brake lights and you'll be invisible at night!!

Car looks good. It will really look AWESOME if you lower it, go with big red brake calipers and drilled rotors, add aftermarket exhaust, black lug nuts, Euro red/clear brake lights, I can go on and on Sorry for overreacting

Car looks great buddy! Enjoy
