im not trying to put you down, im actually trying to help, i was once 17, and i did silly things to my first car. one of which was a silly exhaust, give it a year, you will look back and thank me, cheap effective mods can be done, just take your time and dont rush to buy things to make it "better" the chops you did looked alreet, stick to that plan

Looks nice that does, camber seems a bit extreme though. I don't like the stickers, big rear can and the chequeres but it isnt my car is it. It has potential though, nice choice of wheels aswell.
