I think it's ugly. e46 front bumper ftl. I also think they fender vents need to go. The only positive things I can say about it are I like the color and the wheels aren't bad.

Looks pretty aggressive. It's got the side indicators that I was talking about earlier. Where can I get corner lights like those

About all I like are the wheels.

Needs more stickers on the rockers.
