That's a great list of mods there and a build you should definitely be proud of.
It all looks to tie together very well and look very natural.
Nice work!!!!!!

Re: OEM+ RB26 Nissan PS13

Thanks alot guys!! Really appreciate it.

The reason I didnt want to give the wheels a wash was to keep them looking brand new...but then the thickness of the spokes look so unrealistic haha so giving the inside of them a wash might've been a good idea lol They seem to look good in the reflections!
