What do you think of the new look?
Top picture is how I bought it back in January off this board.
Second picture is today. What do you guys think? It's coming along don't you think?!

Banned but not out, yet..

HUGE improvement! The lights, the wheels (redone?), and the wing make it outstanding.

If you just changed the wheels, it would have been an improvement. But all that combined....really nice. Is it a Turbo or a TL?

Very nice. Just getting rid of the gold is a huge improvement. The bumper looks great, also!

Excellent job. Don't forget to change the door mirrors to complete the look.

I took the wheels apart and powder coated the centers. They turned out very well I think... |

No bumper accordions? You've ruined your car.
 Seriously, though. Looks fantastic. Talk about wheel ressurection!

Yeah; if it was a "bad boy" look you wanted you got it.. the rear wing is a bit much for my taste.. just slightly overstated; again MY taste.. but man; the wheels; you friggin fixed them.. it was looking like a downtown chump-mobile before you ditched the gold (sorry to the previous owner.. there was a time and place I am sure!
) What mirrors does this need specifically? Something...

I like it! nice job, it just goes to show, bling ain't the thing. Very subtle in a large way.
