Default Before and after all mods

It’s crazy how much a car appearance can change. I bought my car 2 weeks ago

I added wheels
paragon side skirts
wrapped the roof and rear of car in carbon flash
changed to a black spoiler and added the engine appearance stuff.

Car is done now I can enjoy it

Looks good! I think this is the first coupe I've noticed with the black top and black hatch to match. On the HTC the lines are more obvious but it looks good on the coupe too!

Default Not too much but just right for me

I knew that (1) The stock wheels had to go, (2) I wanted All Season tires, and (3) Had to add the front splitter.

AFTER:






This is good enough for me..

I think it really sets the car off. It's a shame the HTC gets the option, but there isn't one for the coupe. And the 3M black metallic is pretty much identical to the carbon flash so it looks OEM.

Here's mine. Had it done the day after picking it up along with tinting.

That looks great. My torch red is supposed to be built the week of March 7. My original plan was to powder coat my wheels black, but your car really looks good. Are those MRR F10s? If you don’t mind sharing, what did the wheels cost. Maybe I should just go aftermarket…
