That Saleen is awesome. Chrome rims, regardless of style really sets off the color of the car, especially the silver flake in the paint.

Idk Matt, I kinda disagree with how hard it is to make the MG stangs look good. With just a couple of simple exterior mods, you get a very classy, slick looking car. I think its harder to make the car look menacing/wicked evil, if thats what you were meaning. Personally, I like that fact, makes our color more of a sleeper car. Its getting late and I gotta get up early, check back tomorrow after work.

I wanna know where he got those rims, I'm pretty sure they're the 96-98 Saleens. But I'm pretty sure they never came in gunmetal finish.
