Great car. However, a few things that I'm not a fan of...
1) Too many stickers on the front windshield.
2) What's up with the CF Batman headlight covers??? Yikes!
3) The two tone paint job on the wheels is definitely a no for me. The wheel design itself is great though. I love mesh wheels with rivets. But the dark lip doesn't show off the proper contrast, since you have a dark colored car. It doesn't flow. They kind of look like Oreo Cookies. Also, because the lip is painted a dark color, from a distance the wheel itself actually looks smaller, not bigger. It looks like there's more rubber on the sidewall. That's why contrast with a polished lip against the dark rubber is so important. It shows off the actual size of the wheel, especially if you are running 20's or higher.
Sorry, just being honest and sharing my opinion. But, if you like it, that's all that matters.
Other than that, the car is a beast!
