My Ride: 545 modded the F out
Default

Coming alone well. I've never been a fan of the CF spoiler on lighter cars. I thought about doing it on my car but I just felt that there's too much contrast going on there and to me it looks rather cheap. On darker shaded cars like black or or blue it blends in a little better.

What color LED signals did you get? I have the white led front blinkers and sidemarkers. Cheap mod that gets alot of attention . How old are you btw? Your mods are pretty much what I did....my budget sucks...I am student lol. Get some 3M scratch remover....looks like most of those scratches can be buffed out!
There are already tons of RPI exhaust sound clips online though... The real life sound is always kinda different though (in a good way).
I ordered the white LED turn signals, haven't received them yet.
Will look into those scratch removers although i don't think they'll work coz my scratch is paint chip-offs
Thanks for the info.

Any thing else planned then
Get it!!

Actually, the white looks they're paint from whatever you hit. Those will come out. The ones that will stay are the deep scratches, literally the parts "your" paint came off. So most of the little ones near from half down will go I think.

No bro, I already cleaned it with cleaning polish and looked at it very closely. The leftover are all "MY PAINT" came off... they're white somewhat due to sunlight!!
