The leather is just black, nothing extravagant, but does have red stitching. I'll snap a few photos when I have a lot of light.

No. You have to buy the SV trim, then purchase an additional package. Wasn't worth it to me. I am planning on putting HIDs in as well as fog lights... again, well worth the cost of doing it myself

Ordered a Stillen Strut tower brace and a Stillen Sway bar. They should shore up the handling a bit

I ordered the Sportwing molding. hopefully, no door dings for me. I've used Sportwings on other vehicles and they are top quality

maybe it's just the picture angle, but the rear molding looks short.

nice tint and good looking ride.


oh... and you need a drop

You are correct, it is much shorter as the back door is much shorter though both moldings (front and back) do go past where the door starts to angle back out

Thanks, the car is coming along nicely for having it only three weeks

negative on the drop

yea, I am a trend setter. Not many new Max's with body color moldings. I like the clean door look, but to not have to deal with door dings (which makes cars look like total sh_t) is so worth it to me.

Very nice car, I think moldings kind of ruin the sleek look of the side, but useful and looks good. Why not!

Stillen Sway bar
it's hard to get good photos of it installed, especially when I don't crawl under there. I will say this, the OEM sway bar (black) is hollow, the Stillen (red) is solid and weighs at least twice as much.



Overall results:
The car is definitely tighter, but I haven't done much yet as I was and am tired.
