Just my opinion, but underglow is ugly. Also, red underglow is illegal.

If you're gonna do red shift **** and pedals, make sure you get a nice brand so that they look nice... Sparco, Momo, etc. (pedals), and a name brand ****. Knockoff brands tend to fail at making colored parts look good.

Yeah, you're right. I already have pedals and a **** coming. I'm pretty sure the pedals are some pos china product, but the **** is JDM if I remember right. And I loveee underglow, wouldn't drive with it though, simply cuz I know it's illegal and cops in small towns are dicks. I have red interior lights on their way, but the underglow is gunna wait, not 100% sure on that.

So you guys really think all black exterior is the way to go?

low key bro. you'll get tired of anything flashy. i had a mustang gt painted like a harley f250. black on bottom, orange on top. i grew to hate it, and had to have the car repainted. and one day, u may decide to sell the car. just make sure its tasteful. i plan on giving my car the ol' 2 tone nxt yr. black on top, midori on bottom. (jeez, i sound like my freakin dad. since when did 26yrs old become "voice of reason" age)

The **** isn't JDM. It just says it is.

you should check out the replica Mugen ***** if you ever decide you don't like the one you bought.

Brent, you're completely right. I've already rushed into buyin this car for $1900 and regret it a bit. Just happy I got it. You've obviously got more experience than I do, and since ya make sense, I'm gunna listen to you haha.

Try to imagine this as a black hatch with red instead of orange. Minus the black and silver stripe and the rest of the flashy ****.
Any good?

IMO that's even too flashy without the stickers wing and silver stripe.
