man if anyone says anything bad about your box they are just crazy...i got a question though, when you took the emblems off did you have any hazzing, if so what did you do to get rid of it...

nothing bad to say since not much done. rims and drop, cleared heads, exhaust. but I will say it looks clean which is crucial for future progress.

Scratch X should remove them then re coat with wax.

Nice clean SRP! Keep it up! You are on the right track Bro!

Only things I would add to the outside would be... SRP key hole plugs, bBist red/clear led tails, paint the upper grill BSP and maybe some polished lower billet grills.

Never tell, make them have to notice on their own. it's easier to get forgiveness than it is to get permission...

Very nice!
Rims with black accents always look great on that colour - good choice.
As mentioned, dropping it would really complete the picture, along with maybe match-tinting the two front door windows?
