Love the rims and the gauges...would like to see another interior pic (perhaps of your painted trim pieces?)... An interior can make or break a car imo... No point in dressing up the outside if you let the inside look like crap....

i usually dont like the wing, but it looks superb on this vehicle, nearly everything about this is perfect
edit: the only thing i dont like is the fartcan, it looks horrible but the car actually sounds pretty good. smaller muffler imo
