Absolutely beautiful! I really like the V-coupes, and the "blackout" treatment on this one is fantastic!

I do prefer wheels with lips but nothing wrong with the wheel design. My problem is with the choice of finish. I don't dig blacked out wheels. Without a contrasting color, they disappear. They cost too much money to spend on wheels that disappear. A chrome or polished lip would bring them out. A painted stripe on the edge of the rim would work as well. Blacked out is just illogical to me.

I see see cars with blacked out wheels around town and I marvel at how many people are copying this fad. You can't see the spokes moving. You can't see where the tire ends and lip begins. It just looks like empty spaces in the side of the car.

Up close and at a stand still, looks nice. Moving and/or at any distance, waste of money.

Thanks,

First off cars looks amazing! The tinted tails make the biggest difference IMO.

Do you have any sound clips or video?

What mod made the biggest power increase?

Is this a 6 sp or auto?

Im currently in the market for a new V.
