^ I like how you bought bags with little red bulls eyes on it to match
I keed I keed.

Seriously though I do like how it matches the enkei lettering. Not too ricey imo, but everybody has an opinion.

also, I'm really liking the hardtop, any more pics?

Thanks sdosmil77, These are old pics and I actually changed it up with black lugs and center caps. lol people may think the center caps maybe ricey but oh well. Here is an updated pic of how it sits.



Either way, people have there opinion though. Honestly if it is ricey to some, I do not care.

Yeah, the look as a whole isn't that bad. You have lowered the car over some performance wheels with the red accents, so I don't think it is ricey. I guess red calipers are just kind of played out to me.

the whole look of aftermarket wheels can go from wow to stock looking like it came from factory (well almost) but either way calipers will look blah with attention from wheels if not painted. no matter the color its painted as long as its not left untouched. yes the calipers r small not huge like brembos or wilwood but if u dont upgrade your brakes and leave stock on, then paint them! im gona do mine asap when i get wheels. center caps look nicer whatever they r over nothing @ all
