What do you think about my 2012 GT?

Here recently, I've made some exterior modifications to my 2012 GT Premium. Would just like to get some opinions on what you think and what I should do next!

Usually I say less is more but I do like the added rear window louvers, hardly ever see them. It's a clean, tasteful, and not gaudy car. A very nice look. If it were me I'd stop right there as far as cosmetic changes. Most of the overdone cars I see are just people who don't know when to stop.

Thanks! I was considering adding the GT/CS spoiler as my last mod because it really meshes well with the rear window louvers

I dont think I would get the spoiler. But I would think about some silver stripes or spears.

Nice, not huge on the window louvers but that's just me. Also the rims are a little small for my taste, these 11+ cars need a 19+ to look right.

I really wanted 19s but the tires I already had were completely fine so there was no sense in not using them. They look more fitting in person

I Run 18x9 and 18x10s. Personally I have always liked 18s over every other size tire because of handling and ease of selection.
Your car looks **** good! Are you considering a spoiler change?

Thank you! Yeah I'm going to get the GT/CS spoiler, it looks perfect with the louvers. I've seen that combo a few times and absolutely love it

Good choice. Remember that once you drill the pedestal spoiler, you can never go back due to the placement of the bolt holes on
The decklid. You may already
Know.

I would definitely lower it next, it'll close that wheel gap and make your car look much more aggressive.

You're off to a great start though! Looks nice
