please note, i do like replies similar to "I like your car" and "your car is awesome" and "you must be the coolest person in the entire flippin world to be driving a beast like that, you handsome man you", but please find something negative to say too. i dont want this to be a "pat jwakamud on the back" thread.
if this thread dies in anonymity, thats okay. ill be disappointed, but thats okay. ill apologise for wasting your time.

1. I am not too fond of the tint on those tails. Where I'm from, the cop would slap a few hundred dollar ticket on that for ya.
2. I'm not too thrilled about the factory door strip things.. (the plastic trim in the middle of the panels.. ) makes it look too busy
Otherwise, I like everything!
Wishing the rims were 17'* but hey who cares, more sidewall to absorb bounce and stuff

well i was going to say shave the badges but it looks like youve already done that.
so the 00+ SE'* dont have a transverse mounted muffler anymore?
if you could rework the exhaust somehow to either hide the muffler better, or give it a nice set of tips(harder to do on an SE i know) that would definetely make things better.

in that pic the muffler and stuff just really take away from that beautiful back end.
you could also do something like paint your calipers to maybe set off the car a little more, but that at times can look a little ricey, and your car has that whole subtle kickassedness downpat right now, so maybe drawing that kind of attention to it is unwise?
other than that i cant come up with anything, because thats just a nice nice looking car.

Okay I'll be honest on one thing. I do NOT like the rims. If you actually wanted my advice, I would tell you to get rid of those rims and get 17 (minimum) off Discount tires or Tirerack.com. The clear corners works good, the tint is good. It'* just those godawful rims. They IMO look better on a classic muscle car or a modern Mustang than a Bonne.
Otherwise, keep it clean

....the cleared corners and tails really set it off...the tint compliments the car...the rims all to the smooth flow...I like it just the way it is.

Hey Jawacky, that car looks fantastic,the rims are not god awful, I would not choose them but I also would not waste money on changing them they are nice just not fantabulous.
I agree on the exhaust tips , get a nice set of magnaflows single or dual .Thats pretty well all you need, not sure what you have on there cant see them well.Anyways great job.Love it

My opinion...
Get a decent set of springs and lower it about 1-2'' to rid yourself of the wheel gap
get some larger rims. I'm thinking something like the Konig Unknowns would look HOT on your car. Either that or something similar to the style of the TSW hock r'*. I'm thinking an 18'' would fill it out nicely, with around a 40/45 series tire.
looks clean though :thumbsup:
