That's what I'm saying. I'm all for doing whatever you want to your car, but on a special edition, I'd leave everything exterior and interior stock. Go wild with chassis and engine mods

I'm thinking he just hasn't been able to get them paint matched yet.

First, I google image searched the first photo on your post and found the article it was in, then I looked up the event it was taken in. Assuming there must be a photo of it from the event and a friend that would tag the owner, I looked...

Nice find, I get the feeling... j/k

Thanks. Definitely will. Can't wait to get it back from the shop and get it back to stock. It'll be like a brand new car. Didn't think I'd get so many people hating on it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
