Wait.. what do you want opinions on? The car in general? The stock suspension, the wheels, or the damage?

Well, considering we can only see about 25% of the car itself right now, I would suggest a drop, cleaning up those trim pieces on the door (they look a little faded), and maybe a lip kit. You have any plans for interior modding at all?

most local automotive supply stores carry trim paint, use a scotch brite to rough the surface and spray the trim with the body taped up.

What's the difference between trim paint and regular spray paint. Does trim last longer and take longer to start fading.

Trim paint just gives it the factory trim look rather than a deep glossy finish that black spray paint gives in the sunlight. The amount it fades really depends on how many times you wash your car, how much it's in the sunlight, and how well you prepped.
