Great drop. Wheels are looking fly. Are those OEM 167s or Miro reps?

Now shadowline that bad boy and slap on the M Tech kit.

Shadowline is the blacked out trim around the windows that comes with the sport package. It replaces the chrome.

Maybe real experts can tell the difference in appearance between the Miro reps and the OEM 167s but I can't. Wheels look great.

I am no expert in how to shadowline one's car but what I would do is:

(1) Use the search feature here to find any DIYs on how to shadowline and if that does not find you what you need;

(2) go to the mods forum and open a thread asking for advice on how to shadowline your car.

It will be a big appearance upgrade to your ride.

Welcome!
Police? I was just trying to help our new member get the advice that he needs on shadowlining. I know that there have been threads on it.
