eh i've kind of modded everything man just mildly. i got more plans but i've only had the car for a year!

some ppl win fcotm with less mods though like last months... pretty much a good stance setup and wheels

all depends where you focus ur money, i just spread it around everywhere

^^thanks buddy. will be better when i finally have the funds to buy those springs might be another few weeks now... sucks

but yea ive tried to consider every mod and how it will affect the cars look/performance. tried not to focus too much on one area, i don't think anythings overdone or underdone yet, minus performance mods i could use a bit moar power
