Makes the car look like a kid with braces smiling. Part of the appeal of thirdgen's is their aggressive look.

I dunno about it...I can't really decide. I know that I DON'T like the 2 lil bumps on the stock front end of my 4mula right now. I'd like some new ideas for it.

I dont know what to say. If I were to look at Redraif's car from a certain angle, I wouldn't like it at all. It would look unique maybe , but I would say "no way I would do that to my car." But I've seen her car in person and what all she's done all works together to achieve a look. The whole car flows and it all works together and believe me, it looks great in it's own right. What I'm trying to say is that if you're going to do one thing like this you must do other things to make it look right
