I think this is “Pic Heavy” in the same way the Sun is ‘quite hot’ (!).

Seriously though, your pride and joy looks great. I imagine it goes, sounds and probably smells great too!

Really liking that rear aero combo you have going on. The PSM spoiler looks much better without the PSM diffuser. Matches the Vorsteiner piece perfectly. Keep it up!

I couldn't agree more. I love the PSM stuff but I felt like the Vorsteiner diffuser really compliments the PSM spoiler.

Car looks amazing! If you want to add more dark tones I recommend you grab my 21in satin black HREs and Akra exhaust with carbon tips!!

Would look sick on that car!!

Car looks great! Not a huge fan of the white letter tires but it works here since your car is white too.

Nicely done. Not a fan of the white letters on the tires. I start seeing them on many modded cars. Is that the new trend now?

I thought it was a nice accent on the Alpine White. It is a bit of a trend right now. I don't think I would do it again; the lettering doesn't hold up as long as the tires do, so I'll probably skip it on the next set of tires.

I like the look of the wrapped roof on alpine white. I'm thinking of getting it done too. The car looks great btw!

Almost certainly one of the best mods I've done, and it was only $200.
