It looks good ! The fenders look awesome.

Those are some big *** tail pipes.

Thanks guys , very easy to miss the wider front ESP in black . It adds just enough to finish the car.

Very nice looking vert. The mods you've done look great, especially the flared fenders.

Nice Vert, darn shame y'all have to put cars away for winter. Friend in Fl never put top up when he got home, garaged. Top went up if it rained only.
