You should paint your brake caliphers red. Rims look great!

I have to agree, the paint job looks great but the black rims don't really match the red. Maybe if you did more black and red scheming, it may fit in better.. and you may want to lower it now. Painting the calipers will help too.

Man that paint really did turn out well! And I think your color scheme definitely works. Maybe add some hood stripes, you know the ones that go in the recesses on both sides of the hood scoop.

Thanks for all the comments. I do agree It needs to be lower and i'm working on that. Most likely will go with FFRP 1.5" springs. I do plan on going with a black/red theme. I have to agree black stripes(or fill) on the side of the hood "power dome" would look good. Of course I have a lot of things i'm going to do, but i'm working on getting my first home so I'll do little stuff as I go and enjoy my car.
