Looks good

Chrome on the wheels isn't my thing but if you like it more power to you

I'd consider some oem xenons or some depos (in that order).

I'm jealous of your window trim

They're ok, but give 'em a year and you're gonna hate them.

Good thing is since they're oem, they're worth a lot of money if you can consider trades.


Lease or purchase?
