For the outside, i have added 17x9 Fikse wheels on all 4 and blacked out the grills. i didnt want to tint it due to keeping the classy look.

For the inside i have added a MOMO steering wheel and a carbon fiber MOMO shift knob to give it a better look. I also added a sony headunit. The rest is original including the tan leather recaros and gauges.
