Car will be washed soon so as soon as I wash it I'll take some pics and post them up

I think it looks OK. Good attention to detail but another vote for black lugs. Possibly a darker shade of purple would blend in better. BS/purple is a decent combo since the car can at times look purplish. Not much else would make a good theme with blue slate.

i dunno dude.. i see what your trying to do here, but maybe it'll look better when its all done. it has the potential to look pretty damn good.

It just may be my eyes, but i think the front splitter is crooked. Also, there is some running of the paint in the driver side headlight. Did you paint the barrel of the rims, or is that just super dirty?

The car could be nice but too dumped in the rear and the purple does not work for me at all.

purple always reminds me of a trashy black woman's vaginal lobes, am i allowed to say this?

but i do give you +1 for being different, from far it kinda blends together, dont mind the dirty, but that sure is alot of bugs
