EDIT: Found it. It's not ugly, it just looks a little off to me, as thought it needs something to help the flow from front to back. I think the roof helps on the coupes and side skirts on the '05-'06 help too:
That looks exactly like my car! I mean, EXACTLY!!!

How can this be? I bet it's Matt's and he swapped in a new interior.

By the way, did you ever respray the side that had been painted with the molding, or did you end up putting the molding back on?

I agree with the K-man, the black wheels are just tooooo dark and I can't think of any way to lighten them. You could swap the green center caps for those grey ones...welsh just posted a sale ad for them $40 for a set.




If I could go back in time, I think you could have accomplished the same 'darkening' effect by keeping the wheel hypersilver, but just painting the 'insert' in each spoke black...or keeping the wheel black, and oultining the spoke in silver, like they do in some aftermarket wheels
