Photos after good car wash

Just took few photos after good car wash.
Washed and applied Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax. I love this thing. Superb product.






This was the car originally looked like when I purchased about a year ago.

Thanks. The rims are Forcal 177 F10 18x7.5
I wasn't really fan of the style, but when I was able to get the used set for $250 including descent tires, it suddenly became looking so much better. :D

The last photo was when I first bought the car.
It looks so much dull compare to now.

$20 from aliexpress. It's double sided taped on, and fitment is 99% on I must say.
It looks pretty dope. But do not leave only the mirror covers to be red. You want something else to match it.
