Well I finally got around to taking that stupid looking trim off my doors and I washed it as well. What do you think now?

looks better like you have it now , i hate that trim , have you ever thought about doing the rims black instead of gold, also just lower the car and dont do any other outside mods to it . Keep it clean and stock lookin on the outside.

yeah I like it alot better now without the trim. The rims are staying gold for now since the rest of the car has that color trim on it like the pinstripes and embles so it all kinda goes together. As far as exterrior ods go I think Im done except maybe lowering it like you said and the windows need tinted other than that it will look like a stock car but run like a beast.

Awesome GTA! like 18inchboyds said, just drop it a little and leave the rest of the outside alone, looks great!
