FLS your M is screaming for a K-break or Mode kit.

As is my car. :(

or Aimgain or Glanz.... next week it will be lower though, so should be pretty good w/ stock body.  After that, I'll begin saving up for body kit and hit up Freddie to see what it's gonna set me back...

I like this thread, I hadn't seen how a lot of these cars started out, it's really cool to compare before & after side by side.

Nice thread.  Lots of our cars have come a long way.  Since we all know what stock cars look like, I think showing a early lightly modded version would be better.
